He participated in himself, did he ever gripe about it thereafter?

But did he participate in anything else, besides himself?

Archbishop Sheen,an Enthusiast of Vatican II

Quote
Not accepting the Council is demonic

 In short, Bishop Sheen always defended the reforms of Vatican II. He went as far as to qualify any reactions against it as “demonic.” Indeed, he asserted:

 “It is a historical fact that whenever there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit as in a General Council of the Church, there is always an extra show of force by the anti-Spirit or the demonic. Even at the beginning, immediately after Pentecost and the descent of the Spirit upon the Apostles, there began a persecution and the murder of Stephen. If a General Council did not provoke the spirit of turbulence, one might almost doubt the operation of the Third Person of the Trinity over the Assembly” (Reeves, p. 335).

If anything the world's reaction to VII was exuberant.
