text: Why is that not cause for great hope more so than for worry? 
  
  In fact, I think your statement indicates how wide the family gulf is between orthodox Catholics like you and God's other Catholic kids; in fact, between Orthodox Catholics and all of God's other kids, including--especially--God's prodigal sons and daughters.     
  
  Catholicism  is elite. But you make it sound elitist. And that's sad during this season or any season. 
  
  I'm looking at our Nativity--shepherds, doubting and searching wise men, a very poor mom and dad, and a tiny baby who would grow to be the most prominent dissident in human history. The orthodox, rules-obsessed, ready-to-blackball elites are outnumbered. Was that a time to "start worrying"?
  
  I say that was the time of all times to STOP worrying. So did Christ.  So should you.
  
  And just what is it you are worried about?
