Cardinal Walter Brandmüller has dismissed talk of a Third Vatican Council. Speaking to Katholisch.de, he said: “It’s far too early for that,” noting that no one knows how to gather more than 5,000 bishops. With the Church still absorbing the last council, he suggested that such questions are “not relevant yet.”
The Cardinal, one of the last surviving witnesses of the Council, said that the renewed interest in the old Roman Rite reflects not the strength of the pre-conciliar liturgy but the failure to implement the Second Vatican Council’s reforms as intended.
