Finally, the infighting among traditionalist, conservative, and liberal Catholics made plain that Catholics did not gain by their magisterium a clear, living voice of divine authority. They received from the past a set of magisterial documents that had to be weighed and interpreted, often over against living prelates. The magisterium of prior ages only multiplied the texts one had to interpret for oneself, for living bishops, it turns out, are as bad at reading as the rest of us.
Wow! We see this played out daily here on FR! Francis vs. Froman Catholics vs. most suburban Catholics.

I’m confused. So all those times Jesus says, “Love your neighbor,” he didn’t mean it actually did anything since he was going to suffer and die and redeem me no matter what? Even the devil believes.
