Exactly. Precisely. Thanks for posting this.

This is what I've been saying all along: this Pope has not "changed" doctrine and discipline --- in a declarative, official sense--- and never will.

Not in theory, that is: only in practice!

His studied and finely-calibrateed method of doing this is to massage everything down to a soul-killing ambiguity. Then the orthodox interpret things, as they must, in an orthodox way, and the heterodox in theirs, and nobody receives any correction or guidance from the top.

If you don't grasp this point, you have "not yet begun to fight"

And your bishop says what?

You can't have one without the other. Why can't you comprehend that?
