Bp Lopes And The Pray Tell Blog

I've noted here several times Bp Lopes's September interview at the Pray Tell Blog, where he made a particular troubling reference to the Tudor revolt as being half of some sort of "dual hermeneutic of reform", apparently equivalent to the Council of Trent and Vatican II in influence, if not authority. It now turns out that Fr Z characterizes Pray Tell as a "liberal liturgy blog".

I'm a new Catholic, I can't presume to tell bishops or the Church how to think, and I must reserve judgment here. Nevertheless, Bp Lopes's remarks, and now what appears to be their larger context, strike me as problematic.
