Understanding dissenters

I received some very good comments on this.

From Jeff Miller:

Now here comes in the whole collapse and huge

blunder of our age. We have mixed up two different

things, two opposite things. Progress should mean

that that we are always changing the world to suit

the vision. Progress does mean (just now) that we

are always changing the vision. It should mean

that we are slow but sure in bringing justice and

mercy among men: it does mean that we are very

swift in doubting the desirability of justice and

mercy: a wild page from any Prussian sophist makes

men doubt it. Progress should mean that we are

always walking towards the New Jerusalem. It does

not mean the the New Jerusalem is always walking

away from us. We are not altering the real to suit

the ideal. We are altering the ideal: it is

easier.

And from Monica – short and concise but says it all!

I too am perplexed at any liberalization of Catholic teachings. Watering down of tea is only “weak tea”; liberal catholics are only “weak catholics”.
