His point is that perhaps the cult of Vatican II is subsiding, and we can recall that Christianity is a 2000 year old religion and that there were 20 other ecumenical councils. And I for one sing, Hosanna, and look forward to the day when references to Vatican II are as frequent as citations of Lateran V (which was about as successful a council of reform).
