text: If all of the positions ascribed to Flannery in this article were listed, and all of the Catholic theologians in the world (meaning everyone with a doctoral degree in theology who professes Catholicism) were asked agree or disagree with each point separately, I would bet that, with the exception of the odd point here and there, most positions would garner a vote of 70% agreement. That is, I postulate that a significant majority of Catholic theologians would agree with most of Tom Flannery's positions. 
  
  Another way of putting this, is that a narrow reading of the magisterium would condemn the majority of our experts as heretics. Don't know about you, Pandora, but I'm inclined to go with current expert opinion over an collection of authority-sanctioned opinions. 
  
  You have demonstrated that there is a lot more to this story, but that doesn't change the probability that it is above all his position of female ordination that got him condemned.
