The problem is the addition of neo-platonic, Aristotelian, Augustinian and Aquinian philosophy into the mix, a large number of Popes who would never get out the seminary today, bad proof texting devoid of connection to both the history of the time and the cultural concerns addressed and an unwillingness to even look at how such matters really did impact doctrine, as well as the peculiar sexuality of most priests (whether self-loathing gays or asexuals) and a history of western misogyny. St. John opened the windows for some air, but we really need some light and an end to the resistance of the search. Too many people are looking now, so the hierarchs really cannot put their heads in the sand and hope modernism suddenly goes away. If conservatives embrace inquiry to get to truth, they can help guide the narrative. It will change whether they do or not. Just like A.L. God is not going to rescue the Church from progress. She wants it.
