text: Why?
  
  I am trying to understand and discuss your claim that the cardinals are "holding quite fast to the totality of decisions consistent with Scripture for the last 2000 years." Their behavior shows little grasp of the traditional behavior of cardinals.
  
  More important to me is how you decide if papal teaching undercuts previous teaching by earlier Popes. When do you apply your principle:
  
  "It's an obligation in fact for Catholic when he/she runs across some matter of teaching that appears unacceptible or notrright to unflagglingly think about the matter, read about it, consult others on the matter, until a "unity" is worked out, where there is no conflict left remaining."
  
  When do you ignore that principle? How do you decide the Pope is being duplicitous?
