I recently met with the head vicar (i.e., the administrator) from my local parish, he essentially agrees with your viewpoint. The sole purpose was to discuss the pope's reforms and the future direction of the church, which he graciously accepted my invitation to discuss. He is a whiz in church history which explains the reason for his balanced understanding, but based on the interpretation of some I guess that makes him an apostate as well. He assured me that the new gospel-centered, pastoral approach is here to stay, citing the many progressive cardinals recently appointed by the pope. I tend to agree with this, however, the mismatch between doctrine and pastoral practice remains a serious problem for the church universal.
