However, the suspicion that will not go away is that this was some sort of kite-flying exercise by the certain elements in the Church.

It's too bad that Fr. Lucie-Smith did not mention Humanae Vitae and birth control in this article about kite-flying.

Also, every biased survey that Francis issues before his Sin-Nods are nothing more than kite-flying.

All this should put an end to the persistent rumours that the “Ecumenical Mass” was in preparation.

I have found Fr Alexander Lucie-Smith to be naive and a bit of a Francisbot. We know for a fact that one was held just a few feet from St. Peter's. The idea is dead, my foot.
