text: Was thinking of the Jews recently found in unmarked graves consigned to a ghetto by Urban VIII. Malnourished, poor hygiene-a precursor of the camps. Any triumphalist view of the church lacks integrity. 
             Love Pope Francis and could wish more Catholics had listened to him before voting for the current elected public official presiding as President of the US of A. 
             I was once an existentialist, enthused with the view Jean Paul Sartre had of freedom and responsibility. I am still an existentialist, but of another kind.  
             To be in good faith is an article of faith almost, in the Existentialist credo. One can't defer to "authority" and so abdicate responsibility for one's choices. This an axiom, a universal truth. Here is where the appeal to Tradition as a means of avoiding responsibility for choices made in freedom is inauthentic. If your choices validate tradition it may be, again, of another kind. (posted with another account.)
