The Cardinals in fact are holding quite fast to the totality of decisions consistent with Scripture for the last 2000 years.

They're saying..."how are we to reconcile" what seems like allowances for what was proscribed extant in Church documents, citation 1, citation 2, citation 3, citation x. 

Francis has failed so far to explain why there is no break.

To say that "there is no break" is not an intellectual act of "working out" one's substantiation...it's meere imperialist, totalitarian arrogance. 

Odd how the left rejects JPIIs definititive ruling out of women in the pristhood, but wants immediate and total obesience to a brand new, as yet unconnected teaching from Francis.

And it's in this duplicity and lack of intellectual integrity where the left loses all credibility.
