On the one side were the disappointed advocates of long-overdue reform. On the other were the fundamentalists, the upholders of tradition and self-appointed guardians of the faith who wanted to turn the clock back to before the Second Vatican Council and sought salvation in an authoritarian and hierarchical Church of the past.

Hmm. So who are the good guys and who are the bad guys in this characterization?

I feel like I am back in fourth grade taking a reading comprehension test: "What do you think the author's attitude is towards conservaives?"

Gee, if Der Speigel hates Benedict this much, he was a better pope than I gave him credit for.

If the Church embraces the side of the “disappointed advocates of long-overdue reform,” I believe I will find another faith.

I was about to quote the same lines and say something similar. How are we supposed to coexist with these people?
