Well, this is at least cogent. However, I would remark on the gender usage in the lovey writing of  the Vatican II work. It is striking to me now that I am more aware of the patriarchy involved in this our hard, hard problem. It is like reading the series "The Great Books' - lovely great works but almost all written and created by men.
If one looks at the photographs and media ops at the WH and on the news- it is the same - a sea of surging roiling non aware white males. And then females that are involved look either compromised - as Senator Collins did when seated next to our beloved leader- or passive with either fake smiles or blank faces just merely staring ahead.
Until females and other nonwhite groups are allowed full voice - nothing absolutely nothing good will come to our country and our world.  The isms and the history of sexual abuse not only in the church but in all institutions are ending our world. The  call from God is clear though obscured by the powers that be - CHANGE.
