This article is an invitation to listen to an objective opinion that might just help Catholics see ourselves in a new light and enhance our outreach to the world. That world is no longer suffering in silence, but screaming out in agony ! Hannibal is at the gates ! We need to be establishing common ground for cooperation. Principles are the beginning of a solution not the end of one. The drawbridge has been lowered and all comers are hospitably welcomed in  to reconcile differences and commune. We are not restocking the moat with alligators.
