Who is more Catholic than the Pope?

Poor Mark Shea. Poor George Weigel. "By all accounts so far, 2009 has been a very challenging year for Neocon-variety Catholics," writes Brian Mershon in "A bad year for the Neocon Catholics" (Renew America, February 15, 2009). A bit on Shea. A lot on Weigel, especially on his questioning of the Pope's recent decision in re the SSPX. Some counterpoint with Rome's Msgr. Ignacio Barreiro and analysis of Abp. Lefebvre's opposition to theological modernism (as opposed to modernity), and, especially interesting to me, a section in which Dr. Alcuin Reid weighs in on the controversy in the UK's Catholic Herald, seconding Msgr. Barreiro's views on the Second Vatican Council and the SSPX. Very interesting.
