"The marketplace of ideas tests popularity, not truth" (EFC...)
This and its like is ONE of the reasons why "Catholicism is not a strong contender" as Jim McCrea notes above.
It was; it could be; it isn't; it should be.
The so called "marketplace of ideas" is the real word for the most part. When someone equates reality with "popularity" they expose themselves to be the culpably blind. It seems that these mentally and spiritually blind really believe that they "see". That includes our most vocal hierarchy and the selective traditionalists who are more "cafeteria" than we cafeterians. We are led by old blind men who demand that we join them and their ilk in a sightless journey into oblivian.
Jesus has wide-open eyes, mind and heart. He sees the Parent and the Parent in evolving creation, in us. He took (and takes) a lot of hits because of it but His arms are wide and, wait a minute, His mind is open.
