- As Catholics we need to be at peace with the Church.... The Second Vatican Council and the encyclicals of John Paul II are not going to go away. The Council does need to be interpreted in light of Tradition, but (coming from me, this may shock some of you) the best hermeneutic means that Tradition is also interpreted in light of the Council.
- My dear traditionalist friends, we have a holy Pope and a Church that is moving to heal our terrible wounds. Christ's vicar calls us to unity. Let us follow Benedict and help him to restore that which has been lost.
Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
