Maybe we have reached the ecclesial version of the amnesty-for-vietnam-draft dodgers moment but that would require that we presume that the Bishop of Rome wasn't more like General Curtis Lemay when it comes to the enemy (traditionalists) rather than being a pacific peanut farmer but these happy predictions of an impending reconciliation ignore the reality that Fellay would be abandoned by his troops if he signed a peace treaty with the Vatican Cong.
What if they did return to full communion under Pope Francis.....the irony?
ReplyDeleteI think imperfect reconciliation is a dental anomaly that can be corrected by a competent orthodontist.
