I don't think there is too much to disagree with in Ross Douthat's column about the unresolved conflict within the Catholic Church that kicked in post Vatican II.
Except - I would say that I get the feeling his inclination is to blame Vatican II, whereas I think the current internal conflict is an inevitable result of the effect of the science revolutions starting from Darwin making there way slowly through society. (Vatican II was barely 100 years after The Origin of the Species, after all.)
Vatican II didn't actually change anything in the doctrine. Its the Jews who hijacked the INTERPRETATION of Vatican II.
