 The Ottaviani Intervention Part I   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Others stopped assisting at Mass altogether, or, like the great theologian, Cardinal Journet, accepted the NOM as an act of heroic obedience; but the majority went along each Sunday without showing overt enthusiasm or hostility towards the changes, their attitude was, rather, one of apathy or indifference.
At this time Cardinal Ottaviani was almost totally blind and had to rely on the advice of his secretary with regard to the documents he signed.
Even if it could be proved that Cardinal Ottaviani had retracted, this would not detract from the significance of the fact that he had signed it in the first place, nor would it detract from the merits of the arguments in the study itself.

 AT THE POPE'S RIGHT HAND - New York Times
Given the extent and complexity of the transformation of Catholicism in the last generation, it is not surprising that no one interpretation or explanation of that transformation has yet won the field.
But Cardinal Ratzinger's attempt suffers from one major defect from its start - his refusal to grant that Vatican II did in fact (and I would argue, in intention) represent a turning point in modern Catholic history.
In all four of its sessions the council was the scene of a dramatic struggle, in which Joseph Ratzinger, the young theological adviser to the late Joseph Cardinal Frings, was a principal participant.

Cardinal Walter Kasper, the president of the Vatican's council for the unity of Christians, who celebrated the Mass, said in a homily, "Yes, the springtime of ecumenism has flowered on the hill of Taizé." Beyond religious divisions, Brother Roger also abhorred the division between rich and poor.
Cardinal Kasper has sanctioned the "springtime of ecumenism" that was the brainchild of a syncretist, responsible in no small measure for the very un-Catholicity of the Novus Ordo Missae itself.
Cardinal Casaroli the Cardinal Prefect of the Congregation for Religious and Cardinal Baggio, Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops who has the very important responsibility of nominating bishops, are amongst them.

In Cardinal Ratzinger’s letter to Archbishop Lefebvre on July 20, 1983, he states that: “It must be noted that, because the conciliar texts are of varying authority, criticism of certain of their expressions, in accordance to the general rules of adhesion to the Magisterium, is not forbidden.

Prior to the liberalizing Second Vatican Council, Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani was one of the most feared and powerful princes of the Roman Catholic world.
Ottaviani was half blind but, the Vatican saying went, "sees more with one eye than most see with two." Armed with a steely mind and consummate dedication, he became in his own word, a "carabiniere" (policeman) of orthodoxy.
In a 1953 speech that outraged Protestants, Ottaviani declared that rulers of predominantly Catholic states had a duty to protect "the religious unity of a people who unanimously know themselves to be in secure possession of religious truth." Vatican II rejected such thinking.

 1962 Man of the Year: Pope John XXIII
When the Curia cardinals finally decided that John really meant to have a council, they staffed the preparatory commissions with Curia men and decided that the council would be conducted entirely in Latin without simultaneous translation--this effectively cutting off many Latin-shy bishops from the proceedings.
When the time came to discuss Cardinal Ottaviani's draft proposal on the nature of the modern church, the progressives were ready.
Ottaviani had tried to get the bishops to end the council's first session with a pious discussion of the Virgin Mary, but the council decided instead to press on to consider the nature of the church before adjourning.

Pope Benedict is onto this, along with Francis Cardinal George of Chicago, and liturgical scholars such Aidan Nichols, OP, Monsignor Peter Elliott, Stratford Caldecott of the Center for Faith and Culture in Oxford, and Alcuin Reid, OSB.

In creating Augustine Cardinal Galsworthy, Edward R.F. Sheehan has made a rare contribution to the growing universe of novels imagining the next conclave, that rare gathering of the Sacred College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church to elect a pope.
"Cardinal Galsworthy" is panoramic in scope, rich and faithful in historical detail, at times beautifully written and has as its protagonist an uncommon character who is not a mere stick figure for some real-life character the author hopes will be elected to the Petrine throne.
Cardinal Galsworthy is a complex, sinful (as we all are) yet pious and faithful Catholic.

 The Second Vatican Council
(During the first session, as Cardinal Montini, Paul VI had witnessed first hand the struggle between the Fathers and the Curia for authority in the Council.) It was clear that the Second Session of the Council—and the new Pope whose vision would guide it—would hold some surprises.
But the minority was vocal and powerful, and their leader, Cardinal Ottaviani, head of the Holy Office (what is now called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith) was not one to relinquish a contest lightly.
To use the parlance of the prize ring, the Cardinal had been taking it on the chin so often during the past few weeks that he had reached the limit of his patience.

They were instructing his archbishop, Cardinal Meyer, and bishops from the farthest reaches of earth, that the Church couldn’t stand still, that it must take advantage of the window Pope John XXIII—an amazing phenomenon himself after the autocratic, stiff Pius XII—had opened.
Jack Egan was at dinner the night that Cardinal Meyer, one of the four presidents of the council, was instructed by John Courtney Murray on the fine points of the doctrine of religious liberty.
For the cardinal to defend it, he needed expert instruction because the document ran directly counter to an 1864 papal encyclical Quanta Cura which called religious liberty, even in the civil arena, a delirium.
