I agree, but I believe that it is 3...the radical progressive church wishing to destroy tradition and march into the world of secularism; the traditionalists desiring to restore the Church to her former glory before Vatican II; and the One True Church, accepting and proclaiming truth in the here and now she finds herself, neither looking backward nor divining a compromised future, understanding that truth is eternal. I am of the third group.
