Here's The Letter

Although this is simply a re-affirmation of the constant teaching of the Catholic Church, will anything actually change? The problem is not a lack of understanding of the Churchs' position, but a refusal to abide by it. Will the Diocese of Los Angeles or the Diocese of Rochechester actually listen to such a reaffirmation? I doubt it. And if they don't, and are not disciplined, what good is such a document anyway? The problem in dealing with the American Catholic Church continues. Too heavy a hand with discipline will likely end in significant open schism. Too leniant a hand allows dissedents to openly spread their heresies and causes great scandel to both those within and outside of the Church. I think the hammer needs to begin to fall. The scandel is too great. The damage to the Faith is too great. Open schism is a smaller price to pay, the lines are then clearly drawn. God help and strengthen Benedict XVI. God help and strengthen us all.
