"The Communio theologians remained deeply committed to the theology of the Council but focused on what the conciliar texts actually taught rather than treating them as a mere catalytic springboard into a brave new rupturist future.
And in their view, as well as mine, the central theological motif of the council was a deeply Christocentric theological anthropology. Indeed, Joseph Ratzinger later stated that the affirmation of Gaudium et Spes 22 —“The truth is that only in the mystery of the incarnate Word does the mystery of man take on light” — is like a Christocentric bomb planted in the heart of the council, and is the hermeneutical key to the whole.
It is telling that Pope St. John Paul II quoted that line from GS 22 in almost every one of his encyclicals. And the theology of divine revelation found in the conciliar text Dei verbum seeks to overcome the divide between scripture and tradition as independent sources of revelation precisely by grounding them both in a Christocentric understanding that places them within the single dynamic of the Incarnation."
I pray that the next Pope is more familiar with the texts of Vatican II (not least of which was the Catechsim itself) than Bergoglio.
