“The Pope went to Assisi to limit the damage. That shows an attitude which is more one of imprudence than one of heresy..."
Well, Cardinal Ratzinger's lack of enthusiasm for Assisi was well known. But I myself think that he fairly must shoulder more of the blame for Assisi III than Fr. Wailliez expresses (in this much of his speech, at any rate), and I think that most of his confreres would agree.
Beyond that, I think it certainly the case that the Society had every right to deal with its subversives as it did; and that any other view of the rights of the leadership of a religious congregation can hardly be called traditional.
I would add that it is rather surprising that a traditional Catholic priest's favorite teacher should be a secular (and, I believe, secularist) scholar.
