We also must be allowed to question whether ecumenism and interfaith dialogue do more harm than good.

Following this line of thinking, then I, as a practicing catholic, must also allow the VOTF "their" voice, when they also say "we also must be allowed to question .....". At what point in time did the members of the Catholic Church becoming a voting block? Who gave you the 'authority' to question what the Holy Spirit does through the Holy Father in the church that Christ established? Essentially, and I hope you realize this, you are questioning God's authority to use the Catholic Church to bring ALL faiths together. Who are you to question God?

By default ordinary Catholics must protect Sacred Tradition when the pope himself will not. The authority comes from Gid--it is a given in times of emergency.

Questioning the innovations of Vatican II is not the same as endorsing VOTF. They are criticizing and questioning from outside the teachings of the Church. True Traditionalists question on the basis of the Magisterium, albeit including pre-vatican II.
The Holy Spirit was at work making sure Vatican II remained pastoral.
There have been scandalous popes in history. Did everyone have to say what they did was fine because the holy Spirit was guiding them?
