And any theologians who need an outlet for their baser instincts could always spend some time on the FR Religion Forum - Home Of The Cheap Shot.
The heterodox desire for “dialog” can mean only one thing—they are losing the debate, badly. They fall under a saintly pope who is by loving teaching and persuasion remaking the Church into the Bride of Christ, not, as the CTSA would have it, the Whore of Satan. (BTW, what a rogues gallery of Bishops who attended the meeting CTSA.) The experience of the Episcopal Church USA is instructive with respect to theological relations. While a minority, the liberals were all about “dialog” and “inclusion.” Now that they have control of all levers of power it’s “Off with their heads!”
John Allen writes:
“I believe ideology is the moral equivalent of lying, in that both amount to a distortion of, or indifference to, the truth. I also believe that the sterile ideological oppositions that presently dominate Catholicism in the United States are destructive, and that one of the most urgent tasks facing us is the reconstruction of spaces, either physical or virtual, in which Catholics of differing experiences and temperaments can meet in an atmosphere of trust.”
John Allen must also believe the Church has no enemies.
