Bonavoglia, who lives with her husband in Westchester County, N.Y., is one of a growing chorus of U.S. Catholics who threaten to be a thorn in the side of the new pope, Benedict XVI, a strict theologian.

I'd say they're more like a 'graying' chorus, since most of them were in their heyday in the late 60's and early 70's. They just don't understand why they're not drawing more Catholics to their cause. Maybe it's because most of those younger than she, who believe what Bonavogilia and her friends believe, have never joined the Catholic Church. They just did the honest thing and either didn't join any Church, or joined a Church that comported with their beliefs. They didn't bitch and moan and try to change one that teaches what it had taught since the beginning, then get mad because those dried up old men wouldn't change their minds and get with the times.

Then this picture must be truly out of date.

Same face, same tired philosophies - different generation.
