I couldn't agree with you more. They have become like the Dutch and other European theologians. They have a lot to answer for.

St. John Chrysostom wrote that the floor of Hell is paved with the skulls of bishops. With the bishops of the new church of the last 35 years, that layer is probably ten times thicker than previously.

I assume you mean within the Roman Catholic tradition, because the brightest and must succinct Protestant theologians have come out of The Netherlands, Germany, Scotland, France, England. "Ambiguity" doesn't come to mind when characterizing the works of the auld schrivers or the Puritans.

If you're referring to Spinoza, Erasumus, and their ilk, I'll give a hearty amen.
