“I believe that the TAC bishops cleared the way much more effecitvely this time than they have in the past.”
How so?
“Their letter got a better reception than did past efforts. Also, I believe they addressed the doctrinal issues in a different way than has been done in the past.”
What are the differences in how they addressed the doctrinal issues from how they did in the past?
“I know a lot of attention has been focused on the married bishops issue but I don’t see why that one would be a show-stopper.”
My sense is that the TAC bishops are prepared to “take the hit” to achieve reunion. You seem to suggest that that is the case.
“I think the TAC bishops are more sensitive now to the importance of not having the dialogue take place through press releases, and of the way that issues such as this are handled within the Curia (is that the right term?).”
I understand.
Thanks,

I don’t want to seem to be playing coy, but the last point is really the key to why I can’t say anything more about the fist two points. We’ll just have to let the process work itself through and pray, along with Jesus, that we may all be one.
