P- I cannot pretend to be a "great" Catholic. For our own reasons, we don't use artificial birth control if that's going to be your criteria. Your education by inflexible Jesuits is a major impediment to understand the flexibility of beliefs contained within the Church. The Jesuits, smart as they are, are only one small organization within the Church and are not called the Pope's lawyers for nothing. If the Pope wants progressives and sceptics out, he could start excommunicating folks right now. Like I said, I'm not the guy to have this argument with, my beliefs are my own and they are changing, but it seems you want it both ways. You hate the Church for being reactionary but when folks in it want to work for progress, you want them out.
