So if I understand correctly, the idea of dialogue with fellow co-religionists is no longer encouraged? I can't help but see a slight clericalism in this. Here we have a laity group in good standing, by their own initiative making a request from a hierarch. I'll admit the filial correction is in bad taste, but when the bishops ignore each other what else can be done to get a conversation going. 

The view seems ultramontane view being put forth, when even the idea of dialogue is frowned upon. The Holy Father has the unique power of being the supreme teacher he could end the debate, and most important bring some closing to the growing division that is getting increasingly venomous. Pope Leo X also chose to ignore dialogue, few would laud his handling or results.

If dialogue keeps being neglected we might indeed have a repeat of what happened 500 years ago indeed, and that should not be applauded or encouraged, as Michael Winters demonstrates the ill will is present on both sides.
