text: "Angst here?"  Really Lotl... if you truly want to see angst then visit any traddy site and you will find nothing but angst.  They have had nothing but angst since the reforms of VII were proposed 50 years ago.  By it's very definition, liberal/progressive-minded Catholics (as we have often been labeled--Pope Francis included) have far *less* angst about the "progression" of modern society, with the understanding that all life forms naturally grow/mature/evolve/adapt.
  
  Incidentally, triangulation seems a poor way to describe how the institutional church is capable of "working out" personal salvation for individual disciples of Christ.  (I realize you didn't say exactly that but it was implied... in fact you repeatedly insinuate that Canon law is somehow synonymous with God's law, which doesn't even pass the straight-faced test btw.)
