Thank you for posting this! I knew this book existed in French and German, but I wasn't aware it existed in English. Maybe the whole thing hasn't been translated yet?
Very interesting reminiscences about Vatican II. This is a pretty amazing statement:

I had heard those statements confirmed elsewhere, that many prelates would hang out at a place called "Bar Jonah" (play on words); they didn't seem to really care about the Council.
EDIT: looked it up and this was reported by Xavier Rynne (aka Father Francis X Murphy). Evidently there was another one called "Bar Abbas". Indeed, these bishops were deliberately abandoning Our Lord and the Church for Barabbas.
Evidently the ostensible reason they gave for setting up these "cafes" was because so many bishops smoked, that they were concerned about the hall being filled with smoke.
