Explain your Modernist point of view to Saint Thomas More who stated, "I am the King's good subject but God's first." He thereupon lost his head. I suppose it all depends on whether you expect your reward in the here or hereafter. The Pope expects his in the hereafter as, by the grace of God, do I.

Cheers to you as well. I just think it is a dumb strategy given their point of view, beyond of course disagreeing with it from my point of view.
