The American Bishops " have been told not to talk to theologians who are creative because they’ve been labeled heretical."

Is it wrong to say that a priest who was formerly the editor of America who now writes for the formerly Catholic NcR is full of crap stuff and nonsense?

Well, then, I don't want to be right...

“There is no bishop who is standing up and being the real leader of a Francis faction,” Father Reese said. “They grew up in conservative families, went to conservative seminaries and have been told not to talk to theologians who are creative because they’ve been labeled heretical. Now Francis is saying let’s go in a different direction and let’s have a discussion. The last two pontificates, there was no room for discussion, and this makes them nervous and confused.”

Wouldn't it be nice Catholic if we stopped trying to make ever difference of opinion about "factions"? stopped talking about the Church as if it were our broken government?
