Personally I don't think this is a Liberal vs. Conservative, or Progressive vs. Traditionalist fight.
I really think that ultimately it is about money. More and more countries in the Western World are declaring traditional Christian positions illegal. Those countries are distancing themselves from traditionally Christian organizations and defunding the projects jointly operated by the government and those Christian organizations. They are also threatening to take away tax exemptions and federal funding of aging church buildings.
The Church should not care about the money, but certain individuals who are shortsighted may fear the loss of money and advocate unchristian policies however well-meaning they are.
I think some sort of communist/homosexual coup overthrew B16 and installed the Catholic Church version of Barack Obama as pope.
This is not news from the Vatican. This is not even news from a real, or true faith filled Catholic.
This is a typical distortion of truth regarding the Catholic church.
I think it's Evil versus Good.

That's a very interesting perspective on things that I had not given much thought before now.
