DID YOU READ THE FIRST OR SECOND EDITION?
It is reported that he drew different conclusions in the editions. I have tried to buy a FIRST edition, but, even when advertised as a FIRST edition, I received the second edition.
Now that’s interesting.
Not sure which edition I have (not home right now), but it is 20 years-old, at least.
When was the 2nd edition published?
In any case, I would not be surprised if Michael Davies later edited this book in a new edition to bring it around to conciliarism.
He did this very thing in the new edition of Pope John’s Council (published by Angelus Press), which contains many conciliar adaptations (eg., defense of Dominus Iesus, declaring they Orthodox possess apostolicity, etc.).
The SSPX wanted to make it seem as though Davies had left the indult and returned to tradition toward the end of his life, but the reality was that the SSPX was moving in his direction, and therefore proliferating his conciliarized books.
Then of course the SSPX has sneakily been modifying other books toward the same end (eg., no longer including active participation in the NOM in the examination of conscience of Christian Warfare, while injecting the conciliar Divine Mercy devotion into the same revision. Meanwhile, it’s German bookstores sell materials by Ratzinger, Schneider, and even von Balthasar (while other volumes omit the “St.” title from the books by saints, etc).
