Bill, thank you for the thoughtful post.

Many of my comments do depart from the received liberal or dissenting Catholic party line. They're diverse and provide a bit more of a demanding personal perspective...what can each person do today/now, from where they stand (mainly within their family and close reach) vs. pointing to rome, pointing to a bishop, pointing to a politician, etc. 

These reminders of our personal limits (and yet demanding personal obligations) upset some people here who seek "saviors" or surrogate decision makers around every turn, or fast, perfect answers. 

And my comments aren't as "clerical" as most stories and comments here are, which seem to always focus on rome, clerics, sisters, "papa francesco". 

We have to look for all manner of "walls", where people who are comfortable are exposed to diverse and challenging viewpoints, and want to reject the stranger. 

No walls.  I love this site, and plan to spend more time here.
