Good to see this in the NY Times. Not only the original column, but this response as well.

We have an unprecedented attack underway by the forces of evil masquerading as progress. Our Church needs to fight that evil and those “Catholics”, including clergy, who would corrupt the Gospel need to be expelled.

>> At which point we come to the third argument, which makes an appearance in your letter: You dont understand, youre not a theologian.

You-are-not-a-theologian is surfacing frequently as a tactic among liberals seeking to sway the body of CHRIST from the straight and narrow way.

It affects us your Protestant brethren also.

Similar to the climate change religion asserting that if you are not a climate scientist, your inputs are a priori invalid.

Ignore them and continue to fight the good fight!

Oh please. No one is going to do a darn thing about Francis and his liberal mafia. No one is taking up arms, or doing anything else. If you are a true follower of Jesus Christ, come out of her, and follow Christ only. God will make her drink the cup of her obominations.

No: In politics and religion alike, a doctrine emptied in practice is actually emptied, whatever official rhetoric suggests.

+1

What is that real position? That almost anything Catholic can change when the times require it, and “developing” doctrine just means keeping up with capital-H History, no matter how much of the New Testament is left behind.

+2

And so, my dear professors: Welcome to the battlefield.
