Syncretism is Rita's answer?
Rita, that's heresy.
We can reject the Apostolic Tradition and all that the term implies but if we do that with full knowledge and a free will we shouldn't pretend to be Catholic. That's dishonest.
If "Catholic" is a pretense then the motive for all this dissent is questionable. It can't be trying to have a better Catholic Church.
Even Our Lord couldn't find kind words for religious hypocrites.
