No, +Ottaviani did not directly address Franny 1's "Fiducia"; nor did +Ottaviani directly address the Synodal Group 9's demi-heretical pile of crap.
But he did have something to say about those documents.
..."The errors in the field of moral theology are no less trivial. Some, in fact, dare to reject the objective criteria of morality, while others do not acknowledge the natural law, preferring instead to advocate for the legitimacy of so-called situational ethics. Deleterious opinions are spread about morality and responsibility in the areas of sexuality and marriage.”...
Ottaviani wrote this back in 1966. There can be no question that his remarks covered both the birth-control problem addressed by Humanae Vitae AND the nascent homosexual problem.
Nothing in Church teaching has changed, except now the Vatican no longer talks about artificial birth control (nor do your parish priests, notice??) and Franny 1 and Group 9 both attempt to blunt the edges of Church doctrine on the Sin Against Nature of homosexual practice.
Pray for Leo that he may do what must be done by Christ's Vicar: squash these bugs. Paul VI did what he had to do. So can Leo.
