… Maverick Philosopher: The Question of Private Judgment.

This is quite incisive. The Pope also is entitled to his private judgment. I am not obligated to share it. And as Charles Williams pointed out, given Jesus view of the religious leaders of his day, perhaps we should not be overly servile to those of our day. God, after all, is intimately in touch with each and every one of us. The institutional Church has been shown,  in recent years, to have a lot of ‘splaining to do. The buck stops with God.
