The article gives a realistic approach to dealing with a real problem.

The analogy is ludicrous. The problem is not that conciliarists (especially in the hierarchy) need to be approached delicately and in careful language in order to be converted. The reason they are "economical" and "silent" is not to convert anyone outside the SSPX, but to breed forgetfulness among those who go with the SSPX.

But what is the problem? Arianism? How about what we're dealing with today?

What is the realistic approach? Just to change the words around?

If you have something to add, please do.

That comes across a little on the combative side. What I mean is, what do you want us to take away from this article? How is it related to the Conciliarists who are not viewed as heretics and have incredible power?

By just going with the flow, Tradition may actually weaken itself.

How do you see it?
