Here's a comment from Rorate Caeli. I found it interesting!

H.E. begins by saying that it is wrong to think of SSPX vs Rome. He, himself, has talked in those terms many times. He then talks (very vaguely) about the current crisis in the Church, but does not use the word "crisis" or the word "Modernism." In fact, it sounds like he is embracing the "Spirit of Vatican II" cant, though he does not use that phrase either: "Many people have an understanding of the Council which is a wrong understanding."

The whole video is like that. Whether by Bishop Fellay's intent or by the video editor's intent, the interview comes across as nearly an endorsement of the neoCath position. What would Mark Shea, for example, find objectionable in this video?

Imagine that you wanted the SSPX to split. This is the video you would make. The rational fear that trads have (based on Campos and the FSSP) is that they will be muzzled and then assimilated into the neoCath borg, should they come back to Rome. And, taa daa, here is the (apparently) borg-enhanced, newly neoCath Bishop Fellay reciting the party line. He even claims to have had a kind of conversion experience: "In [the doctrinal] discussions . . . we see that many things we would have condemned as being from the Council are, in fact, not from the Council."

See, if you read the actual documents of VII and ignore the Spirit of VII, you'll see it's not so bad . . .
