text: Sean, can you explain to me why Pope's only divide and confuse when it's the conservatives who feel divided and confused.  100 plus theologians were silenced under Cardinal Ratzinger/Benedict XVI and yet the left was somehow supposed to take that as a sign of unity?  One of the goals of global Catholicism, and the papacy for that matter, was supposed to be unity in diversity, not unity in complete uniformity.  I sometimes wonder if conservatives really compute the difference.
