I agree with all that you say. But we have to be very careful in evaluating new groups that are inevitably going to spring up in response to the current climate in the Catholic Church.

But we have to be very careful in evaluating new groups that are inevitably going to spring up in response to the current climate in the Catholic Church.

In the absence of some ACTION by the American bishops or the Vatican, Americans, being people of action, rush to fill the void.

This is better than another reaction of Americans when they're filled with disgust, which is to just silently walk away.

Well, it is a great battle. In the end, some American Catholics will Dowdify the church, others will come to embrace the moderation Father Fessio discusses: restore certain aspects of the ancient mass Vatican Two left whole; restore a proper catechism, to instruct the faithful. The problem is, only a minority of laity may demand the immediate aforementioned. The majority may want to opt for Dowdification. V's wife.
