I wouldn't expect any additional honest answers to that from the other side. The truth hurts too much and they are usually disinclined to be that exposed, imho.

Of course, they may rebel against my assertions to prove me wrong. That would be wonderful.

I read quite a bit of the material presented against the PDL and I was getting an overall "feeling" that there seems to be a backlash against anything that attacks "tradition."

Don't get me wrong. I didn't see any overt stuff. I just read related material in those sites along with the material to which I was pointed and noticed, after a while, an apparent common thread. The thread is along the lines of "if it aint broke, don't fix it." But they ignore the very fact that social and cultural changes require a church to change the way it reaches people "where they live." Otherwise, a service in the heart of New York could be identical to a service in the heart of the African bush. And that flies in the face of how Jesus and the apostles ministered and spread the word.

The phrase "I have been all things to all men" should be taken seriously.
