Does Mel Gibson reject Vatican II? If so, Mel Gibson is a heretic. I
believe that Gene Wolfe, in common with the current and the previous
popes, subscribes to a conservative interpretation of Vatican II, but a
council of the church is a council of the church, you can't pick and
choose amongst them and remain an orthodox Catholic.
