Regarding: "What Burke has never grasped is that the debate is not about a relaxation of discipline or doctrine, but about how two doctrines of the church, the indissolubility of marriage and the absolute mercy of God, come together in the life of the church."
- ArchbRaymond, removed from St Louis - dismissed from the Apostolic Signatura - now chaplain to the Knights and Dames of Malta, is illustrating the 'making of an heresiarch'. That is, by pounding away on his favourite trope with the only tool that he has, canon law, he meets all the criteria of a proponent of an heresy. That is, my grasp of truth is more True than yours.
- Were he not to use canon law as a lens for reading scripture or for that matter, the writing of JPII and Benexvi, he would see that truth is not in only one passage of scripture.  Rather, truth resides in the whole body of Christ -- the faithful, Scripture, tradition -- all together. Being separate, ArchbRay's truth is sailing away in a leaky boat.
