Mr. DeCuir - have read the Commonweal editorial a number of times.  From one perspective, I see their point of view but wonder why they did not articulate with a documented and well thought out response with examples.  So, they wind up being critical but, IMO, repeat the exact *error* that they try to point out with Civilta Catholica?

OTOH - we may not make distinctions between converts and catholic from birth and we share the same rights but the *truism* espoused by MSW has little to do with either of those points.  MSW's repeating a stock phrase in this world of FAKE NEWS underlines a reality that Civilta brings out - too many without the necessary study, experience, or knowledge can publish and be published (as an expert) when, in fact, they have little background, little actual historical/theological/scriptural knowledge and yet trumpet their opinions as if they are - interchangeable words - tradition, true, wisdom etc.
"disjointed, almost impenetrable style"- NO, IMO-proof?
