Selective Obedience

The supertrads condemn the liberals for a la carte religion but the Pope washing women's feet has shown just how selective supertrads are. Anything new, any departure from the religion of their childhood, any nuanced understanding even by the Pope and they're up in arms. Us real traditionalists  are happy to support His Holiness in using symbols to draw all men to Christ - and that means women too. The faith is unchanged but its presentation is bound to alter in so different a world.
