The game of misunderstandings on the term "updating" (and on that of the pastoral nature of the council). Global pragmatic nature of the conciliar event, as a radical opposition to the determinant intellectualism of the old theology - 15. From Tradition to traditions. Towards a gradual reabsorption of the conciliar discontinuity - 16. The impasse of canon law between the linguistic novelty of the conciliar documents and the need to translate them into a system of commands that can be preached in practice; with the additional problem of the transfer into the work of revising the CIC of the formal dilatory compromises reached in the council. Impossibility of coagulating an adequate consensus on a LEF in the face of the unchangeable self-referential structure of the Roman Curia - 17. From setting aside the LEF to the progressive isolation of the forces of change. Completion of the process of reattribution to the Curia of the competences reserved by Paul VI for the personal prerogatives of the pope – 18. Persistence and characteristics of an absence of guarantees for fundamental rights, after the post-conciliar codification. Neutralization by progressive emptying of the guarantee authorities and of the new mechanisms of judicial protection of rights - 19. The denied otherness as the crux of a crisis of rights (and of legality) inevitable in a framework of intransigentism restored in the key to a charismatic idea (unfalsifiable in fact) of authority. Hypothesis on the philosophy implicit in the operation - 20. Between communio and implicit option for the Weberian doctrine of power. Reflections on the most frequent scapegoat of hierarchical repression. Implications of denied justice (as a choice of system) towards the abuse. Perplexity about the blind opening of credit towards the Ordinaries in terms of respect for the principles of legality and impartiality. Examples of innovations outside and against the Council made de facto by the Curia in the constitution of the post-conciliar church – 21. The unfinished reform – 22. A regime of subjection and objective homogenizing intimidation. What courage to get out of it, to make up for lost time?
