It can be said that, thanks to this critical and self-critical effort, we are already beginning to pass from the "negative" phase to a "positive" implementation of Vatican II, that is, to that authentic renewal or "aggiornamento" which was among the aims of the lovable Pontiff who courageously decided on it.

On peut dire que grâce à cet effort critique et autocritique, on commence déjà à passer de la phase "négative" à la réalisation "positive" du Concile Vatican II, c'est-à-dire à cet authentique renouvellement ou aggiornamento qui fut parmi les objectifs de l'aimable Pontife qui courageusement le voulut.
