It is the Taliban mindset which causes irreparable strife and discontent... and it the RC culture hadn't shifted away from imperial/triumphant mode the two might find themselves as strange bedfellows, albeit adversarial ones as both religions use (or have used) violence/coercion/perversion to bind subjects to their respective faith traditions and beliefs... a far cry from the essence of Christ's gospel message, wouldn't you agree?

Do you ever visit the RadTrad sites and observe the tone and tenor of some the commentary?  I appreciate that you are for the most part civil but the herd mentality I have seen makes one wonder to what length they might go to be rid of us nasty heretics (i.e., progressives, protestants, etc.)... this is the "sickness" which +Francis speaks about, a complete abandonment of gospel principles in favor of their cherished ideology.
