If there is any agenda or "poltical axe" behind my posts, it is simply to build the Church.

Unity in the service of that--wouldn't it be something?

But if we can't have unity, a cease-fire would be an improvement over the current situation in the Church.  Let the older generation, if they are so disposed, have JourneySongs and communion in the hand, and let us chant the daily propers and receive at the rail.  That's the pastoral solution, and it is not what we get.  Instead what we get is scorched-earth tactics from those who really like things the way they were in the 80s, and a bunker mentality from those who didn't or don't think it conducive to passing the faith on to their children.

Wouldn't it be nice if, for example, the pastoral needs of the people who drive from all over Chicago to Cantius or St Mary of the Angels were met in their territorial parishes?
