...Thank you for your words of wisdom, dear Father.<br /><br />You end by implicitly asking as to whether or not some very important divines think they can get away with rejecting the principle on contradiction. Do they think they can get away with it? The tragedy seems to be that they actually believe they are right, and that THEIR teaching is the Church's teaching.

I would only add that, in the real world as we experienced it in the Church of England and are now being invited to contemplate it within the Catholic Church, those who uphold Tradition tend to be very willing to give their reasons; it is the Bergoglians who Bulverise. And make things personal and nasty.
