Trent, Vatican II, and clarity

Seems to me you've been reading a bit too much Mark Shea - who also makes money within the system.; 12:04 PM
Anonymous said...: the good bishops of Vatican II could have dogmatized their new teachings about Judaism and religious freedom, but that would have made the teaching less, not more, persuasive; 12:36 PM

In fact, rather than qualifying his statements to death in a 'scholarly' manner, Mr. Voris' generality may be exactly what the Catholic mainstream needs, in all its simple clarity, in addition to the exhortations that may actually steel their wills to act. It is quite apparent that the rank and file are not getting what they need elsewhere, even in their Sunday homilies.; 11:42 AM

I don't read Mark Shea but rarely though I have seen years ago excellent Biblical commentary by him. I think his blogging might be preventing a greater talent in him by far...Biblical commentary....but maybe it doesn't pay the bills.
Why are so many Catholic commentors anonymous?; 7:53 PM
