It would be intresting to be at a mass celebrated by Fr. Fessio, and he has excellent points. I also recall Catholicguys responses, his heart was in the right place, but like many other conservative/orthdox Catholics, too unwilling to realise Bishops can overstep their authority, and often make mistakes, and I think a flaw that many conservatives used to have in many cases was a unwillingness to go against authority.
Of course as someone on this thread mentioned Limbaugh, and other talk radio hosts caused Consevatives to change tactics, and I think many conservative/orthdox/traditional Catholics have adopted a "Agressor sets the rules" mindset when it comes to many matters now. Note how the parishoners and parish' that still kneel for communion refused to stop that practice even though the Bishops issued a statement saying kneeling is not "normative" and illict, the CDW from the Vatican in response to many letters told that it was illict to deny someone communion for kneeling, and the parish' that still use the communion rail still maintain that practice. The days, for the most part. of docile, obidient conservatives are over.
