    I'm not sure on that last bit.  I mean you're right, if +Schneider and +Burke were as liberal as they are right now in 1910, you'd probably be right . 

    Right.  That's what I meant and why I mentioned St. Pius X.  He defrocked prelates for much less than what those men have done and said.  It shows how far everything has fallen.

But as a friend of mine pointed out to me recently, sometimes the direction one is moving in is more important than the exact position taken.  I think you have to somewhat take into account what these guys are dealing with.  They aren't resisting pressure from a St Pius X type to be more conservative, but a push from the left.  
    To believe that Schneider or Burke are on the "conservative" side is the mistake.  Being men of the Council, they are just not as left/liberal as the others.  Just because there are men further left than them doesn't mean we give them any sort of pass.

    They are, though.  In real life.  To be clear, I'm not saying they're completely right on everything.  But you're falling into exactly the mistake that I point out here.
