Once again, the stale argument that those of us (uh, most of the world) who are not part of the insider's "club" of Roman Catholicism can't really understand the internal workings of this ancient and holy institution is pealing from the steeple of Rome.
Who cares? We see what we see. And what we see, this time, is a Pope willing to lend an air of legitimacy (by lifting an excommunication) to antisemitism. It's really as simple as that. Canon law, schmannon law......
For an institution to be able to say that there is a distinction between someone's opinions about non-canonical issues and those that are canonical is like saying "it's OK if he's a liar, as long as he keeps the rules about church doctrine." This, I'm fairly certain, flies in the face of "The truth will set you free."
And there you have it. There is no freedom in this ancient and venerable institution, only captivity--something many of us have known for some time.
Tsk tsk, your Holiness, you've (once again) missed an opportunity to tell the truth.
