"I should not
like to be too harsh on this commission's labors. It numbered a certain
number of genuine scholars and more than one experienced and judicious
pastor. Under different circumstances, they might have accomplished
excellent work. Unfortunately, on the one hand, a deadly error in
judgment placed the official leadership of this committee in the hands
of a man who, though generous and brave, was not very knowledgeable:
Cardinal Larcaro. He was utterly incapable of resisting the maneuvers of
the mealy-mouthed scoundrel that the Neapolitan Vincentian, Annibale, a
man as bereft of culture as he was of basic honesty, soon revealed
himself to be."
- Louis Bouyer, memoirs
