roscoe,
It is not, imo, clear enough. What is your beef with Pius XII? That he would not issue a dogmatic statement that reaffirmed what had already been dogmatically declared three times? So what? Should Pius have catered to Fr. Feeney? Certainly not. Fr. Feeney was fighting against a real and present error, but his weapons were also erroneous (or, we might say, the way in which he wielded them was incorrect). It is the classic atmosphere for heresy where one teaching is being proclaimed in an unbalanced way so as to endanger a complementary truth, so the "champions" combat this problem by overemphasizing the complementary teaching that is in danger of being snuffed out. Both involve an overemphasis of one of two harmonious truths, leading to disaster.
I own the book you mention. It does not "save" Fr. Feeney, etc.
As for your hole, I doubt you will crawl back into it - not for more than a moment or two, anyway.
