A positive outcome...

 Nobody now can deny that there really IS a Catholic Cafeteria, where rigorous discernment, adult conscience formation, thoughtful weighing, and educated viscera all are  legitimate and authentic guides.

And maybe, just maybe, that's a good thing for Church unity, while terrible for uniformity. If in our church parking lots cars with Hillary stickers can coexist with cars with Trump stickers, maybe the drivers can walk into and out of Mass together too, without anyone being called "less" Catholic or "more" Catholic.
