text: Well put, thanks. Two additional considerations: personality type and challenge. As to the first, there are "types" I would characterize as "adamantine". There is no quarter given, no negotiation, no compromise, no reconciliation, to the extent that it is a personality disorder. It is rooted not only in disagreement or sincerity of conviction but a ferocious and even deviant impulse to take any route to achieve their end.  I suspect the clerically ambitious are more inclined to this disorder than most, but we have let it happen, let them get away with it. No more! 
  As to challenge, it is rather easy and, in the case of traditional catholicism to rest comfortably in the "sheep-fold" and be led. A "future" church needs to return to incarnation: making our faith real, to learn civility, caring within a sense of ethical caring, and a concentration of discernment and mentoring rather than "faith in and observance of "markers"".
