This is too big a topic to take up on this thread,

No doubt, but since I believe it was you who lodged the "man's the measure of all things" charge against GS, I'd be obliged if you'd offer a cite.

Yes, it's sobering to remember the faithless scoundrels who infested the Council and implemented its documents. (Every one of them brought up and ordained in the old rite, mind you). But Christianity has never been a Pelagian project, and the fact that the hierarchy comprises some men who're gravely unfit, others who're bent on folly, and still others who're flat-out evil doesn't particularly distinguish them from the great mass of humanity. I can summon only a limited sense of scandal when I think about the sinners who administer the institutional Church, because I know that neither they nor you & I are capable of getting it right on his own. What I'm interested in is the way the Holy Spirit works though even such as these.

I was under the impression the term "Creative destruction" originated with the political economist Schumpeter, not Hegel.

That must have been someone else.
