Though it seems that hell will freeze over before most such gain that insight and truth.
Part of the problem is that over the millennia Catholics have learned to place our confidence in God. So our separated brethren, whose chief objection to the myths of the Inquisition is that THEY weren't in charge of the cigarette lighter and the charcoal lighter fluid, secretly WANT us to have the Vatican KGB breaking into homes of heterodox bloggers and disappearing them. That way they can enjoy thinking about how evil we are.
In the meantime, we kind of trust that if some of us are speaking the truth and most of us are living sacramental lives, things will settle out okay.
When I find I'm "damned if I do, and damned if I don't," I stop listening to the people doing the damning.
