Here is that excerpt from the Siri interview translated, its a bit touching. It must have been torture for the true defenders to watch the Church being usurped like that.
In the discussion on "De Episcopis" your friend Cardinal Ottaviani challenged not only the function indicative of the vote of 30 October 1963 on collegiality, but also its legitimacy, basically accusing the moderators themselves.
SIRI: It is difficult to evaluate the moderators. Very difficult. Card. Agagianian assessed and approved all of them.Ottiavani was a true defender of the faith but had a characteristic (I’m saying a defect) that warmed. Which annoyed others. One day Cardinal Alfrink took away his voice (mic).
And the council applauded.
SIRI: No, you cannot say that applauded.
There was applause here and there ... but it was not the applause of the assembly. The gesture of Alfrink was not approved by the great majority, and carried a certain penalty. Ottaviani was then head the Holy Office did not respond personally, but with his office. Ottaviani was then set in motion like a hippopotamus. A loved one, we were so friends, a man of God who had been several years blind, yet always serene.
