I agree with much of your statement, but a couple of thoughts come to mind. First, in response to this: "the whole thing is being stalled by those who see themselves as losing power or prestige or both if Vatican II is passed," keep in mind that ecumenical councils are pieces of legislation. There is no "passing" to be done. There is only acting in faithfulness, or not, to the reforms the council decreed.

The genie is out of the bottle never to be stuffed back in. Sure, there are powerful elements impeding the reforms of the council, but those reforms will eventually be realized. It is inevitable. The People of God have grown up and they will no longer accept being treated as children. Those among the hierarchy who are wise will get on board with that. Those who aren't will, like the old wine skins of the Gospel, break and be discarded.
