MGB:_This is a shot across the bow of the counter-revolutionary Church that would kidnap us all. It hopes that by ignoring change in the culture, it will go away; with wives being submissive to their husbands, women forgoing contraception and any desire for priesthood, we will all confess every pure thought every Saturday and go to Latin Mass every Sunday and that science will pull an Emily Lattella an say "never mind" regarding Darwin. Sounds silly when you put it that way, doesn't it?

His Eminence needs to either remember his promise of obedience or retire and the Holy Father needs to be a bit less subtle in changing doctrine and overturning bad proof texting on divorce, Communion and the Eden myth. the nature of the teachings of Leviticus and the salvic nature of the Crucifixion.. The Dubia Cardinals are correct that we need clarity, but they won;t like the answers. God is not the Ogre that they make him out to be. Morality is to make us more human, not angelic.
