Yes, there are many lofty sentences and paragraphs far in abundance above the troubling ones--as far as I can tell from what's been said and you have written.

However, they do not, for me, mollify the troubling ones …

Once you've had a chance to read the whole document, then we can talk about it. The trouble is that you may stress upon the couple of "troubling statements" out of their overall context (just as we saw with your review of Populorum Progressio -- not that your concerns were completely resolved, but a lot of them, in fact, were after dealing with the actual document).

Having said that, let me repeat one thing I said back on 1 July, before the release of the document, Please withhold judgment until you have a chance to read the document for yourselves (after all, how often does the MSM get anything right about the Church?)

A worthy request and points.

Thanks.

Do you have a link for the best English version—the whole document? I’m a bit confused by the ‘core dump’ of links.
