Post-Synod Elation

The world’s press, being insufficiently trinitarian, discussed the Extraordinary Synod in Rome in two terms: traditionalists v. progressives. In the world the Trinity made, however, reality comes in threes.

It is absurd to call Pope John Paul II a traditionalist. Seldom has there been a more future-oriented pope, such a visionary activist. It would also be wrong to call him a “progressive”; the “progressives” hate him. The Pope criticizes both traditionalists and progressives.
