Perhaps "liberal" canon lawyers should go and act as you do.  Just talk about the ultra-orthodox agenda and how everything presented at Canon Law conferences is from orthodox conservatives and how they sure wouldn't let a "liberal" canon lawyer present anything.  They could make the point that the conservative "agenda" needs to be countered by those who speak for the "real" Catholics.  

Don't talk about the actual issues discussed, the effect on tribunals and on Catholics who go to those tribunals seeking a resolution to their pain.  Just complain because it is all "conservative."  Is that the "polite table conversation" you imagine you engage in here?
