Regarding: "...“another kind of opposition, which is just imposing one’s own view, which is ideological opposition.” - i.e., those exercising their right and even duty under Canon 212 to manifest to their sacred pastor their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful."
- Good point.
- This canon is about dialog between a pastor / minister and the person(s) he / she serves (including parish administrators). Where there is dialog 'imposing one's own view' can not have traction.
- As is often the case style shapes substance; for instance, dubia are useful in situations that do not require dialog but require a yes/no type of answer. Indeed that seems to be CDF's level of response to dubia. Presumably dubia are sent to the CDF after dialog ends and a clarifying response is useful. However the format of dubia does not attend well to pastoral issues for which definitive responses aren't true facts.
