I love the faith and it is mine as much as Burke's. Whatever the form of the Resurrection, the witness to it by hundreds of the brotherhood is the witness of the Church. The questions you find so important are debateable and dissent comes from the Vatican arguing that authority trumps reason and evidence in matters having to do with human sexuality. The difference between Protestants and dissidents is the latter have a well developed gift of Fortitude. It is easier to defend authority than to challenge it, at least under an authoritarian Pope. One of those is safely been proclaimed a saint (buying off his supporters) and the other is retired. The current one is a source of hope who does not seem to have the word Magisterium in his vocabulary. Of course, on economics, I am no dissident. Benedict's Caritas in Veritate is still the norm for Catholic ecoomics, including its social democratic overtones.
