If your non-negotiable issue is AUTHORITY, you become part of the problem and not of the solution.

Too many make false gods out of 1) the clarity of authority, and 2) the authority of clarity. 

 They make evils out of ambiguities, rigorous discernments, debates, sciences, and other "sinful threats" to a non-messy, nuance-free, ambiguity-removed order they hope for. Heck, some even demand that the Pope use his "authority" to answer their "yes or no" questions, in their quest to satisfy a driving desire and need for unnatural clarity.

They follow as dogma the dictum expressed by Archbishop Chaput: "Confusion is of the devil."
