I'd rather work towards some sort of unification. Wouldn't bother me to see those who are NOT going with Rome to depart--make it simple and sweet. And that would be from both sides of the table.

You know that is not John Paul II's style. He will go after the one sheep to the point of exhaustion.

I'd guess that there will not be the luxury of "anathemas" from either side, for a very long time from the successors of JP II.

The Hound of Heaven will pursue every soul.

We MUST facilitate His delicate touch.

Well, Hound aside, and JPII's style aside, there's still a very wide gulf between, say, Teddy Kennedy and Ultima Ratio.

And, interestingly, the last three Prefects of CDW have been noticeably more two-fisted in their approach to lit. problems (I am counting Arinze among the three.)

Y'all ought not be surprised that there are those willing to serve the Church--each in his/her own way on these threads is doing so, (perhaps a few are not) in their own ways. But good intentions also pave the highway to Hell.
