I don't know anything about this particular statement but the Angelus has put up different quotes from that book on my YouTube feed and I remember thinking that book seemed novus ordo like and too sentimental.
About the OP link: that is Catholic Candle web page, not my comments. I am still neutral about this priest, or his background.

https://www.radio-en-ligne.fr/podcasts/le-cure-dars-et-vatican-ii-par-le-pere-marie-dominique-molinie-opI've been researching this priest (
He was born May 29, 1918, died June 15, 2002 AD at Perpignan.) yesterday and today, my computer is constantly updating, plus I have weak internet. Anyway, There are seven Talks of his , in French, on the above link: that link has tons of ads...like Fox News!!
These were recorded in 1979, during a retreat at: Foyer de charite de Baye. So honestly I can't guess if he is Trad, simply because I haven't been able to listen much. He does say that the Eucharist and Thanksgiving, they are the same thing...Hmmm He is all for Gallicanism. He quoted St Cure of Ars and is wellread about most of the saint's sayings and writings and supernatural aura and gifts.
He only read the Vatican II docuмents around 1978, and mentions that Lumen Gentium and Dei Verbum brushes against long standing Church teaching...If someone isn't happy with these, well, these dogmatic Constitutions modified other docuмents, so if they can modify, well just be patient and then maybe someday these could be modified as well.
He introduces his week long retreat conference theme: St. Cure d"Ars and Vatican II. He was going to focus on St John Vianney's idea of Hell, and Vatican II's attitude towards hell.
Two days later a religious Brother asks him to change the topic and talk rather about:
" "Comment faire pour atteindre les jours ou on brule d'amour?" Translated: What must we do to attain those days where we burn out of love.." So looks like he shifted the theme!!?
He is a joy to listen to, 7 talks about 30 minutes each. "We are as blocks of wood, really cold wood (little spiritual desire for God, selfish, sinners etc.). ONLY God can create a fire...He is the match (so to speak) and He will decide if and when to inflame you. A block cannot move, so if the lighted match is 5" away, the wood will not ignite. There is nothing you can do. Only God can move the match closer, there is nothing to do but wait."
That's the flavor of his talks...
I'll keep you posted next Friday.
If someone else could listen to the talks on high speed internet, and make a sort of report, that would be great. PV...where are you?
