Whether the teaching on religious liberty of the Second Vatican Council contradicts the early Magisterium of the Catholic Church is a matter of contention among Catholics and a crucial issue in the controversy with the ‘traditionalist’ movement of the late Archbishop Lefebvre. Benedict XVI’s strategy has been to promote a paradigm of “reform within continuity”, admitting that Vatican II has introduced elements of reform and even discontinuity, but within a fundamental continuity and without ‘ruptures’
