Lad, when we were at Catholic U., Msgr. Bob Trisco told us Church history doctoral students about Msgr. Fenton's evening habit during the Council of eating raw garlic and then heading out to those trattoria where the liberal bishops and periti would dine and chat. Fenton would get up real close to talk to these modernists, choking them with the garlic odor on his breath.

Interesting. I wonder what he would have to say now, after 60 years of Vatican 2?

I wish we had more resources like this, more first-hand accounts of Vatican 2 from people who were on the inside. I bet it would be fascinating. If Cardinal Ottaviani, for example, wrote a diary and someone could get their hands on it and publish it, I would sure love to see it!
Having a round table with +Thuc, +ABL Cdl. Ottaviani and Msgr. Fenton would be pretty much the defining meeting on The Crisis. Only if.

I imagine +Thuc and +ABL would feel entirely justified and probably would have consecrated more if they had lived another 10 years. +Thuc never lived to see Assisi.
