    What common ground can be identified in order to harness the waves of energy around this debate? I suggest that there is a divine agenda which overarches and embraces all sides; that what God wants us

    Sean M., It might be good for you to balance the 1967 Ratzinger with the 2005 Ratzinger. This is from his "Dictatorship of Relativism" homily, and I think it would help you. "How many winds of doctri
