I don't care if the next pope calls himself Peter II.  He cannot be going back to the Baroque Days of JP II and Benedict who LOVED the past.  They saw the Church to be like a theater:  buildings, pilgrimages, palatial receptions, processions, stage productions [with a world actor like JP II] on it.  And all of this surrounded by church law and magisterial administration.  The people honored with canonization were priests and nuns who lived in the 17th - early 20th Century.  The theology accepted was from around World War I which divided simplistically the gospel from the world.


And that's the same tripe that we are getting from some of the Traddies on this site.  They fail to see that Catholicism is never living in only one period, is never fully engaged by the present epoch or represented solely by one 'golden age.'
