You mischaracterize me and my positions.  Too little categories.  

I love Vatican II..it reminded the lay of their role in salvation history.  It tried to de-clericalize the Church..not getting rid of clerics (like many dissenters want..or to make everyone a semi-cleric like some trads seem to want...and even some dissenters want).

I am in favor of a very strenuous living out of the lay life...in the middle of the world...not in the parish..but in the rest of the world.  Fully and completely...not pretending we're clerics.  Not wanting to be a Deacon. No, I am a husband and a father..and I should live out this vocation with total self-gift. Not sad that I am not a priest.

VII reminded the Church of the "universal call to holiness"...that we are all called to live out our vocation generously, tirelessly, drawing life from the Sacraments well received.

I love VII.

Sad the small categories some people run around with, shoehorning other people into them.  Very sad.   Dark even.
