But of course Pope Francis is correct in his liturgical instincts! He has a living and active gift! His every thought is an expression of the Holy Spirit! Being Church means walking together, and walking together means following the direction set by the Holy Father! Isn't that what Vatican 1 and Vatican 2 said?

When bishops like Cdl Gregory or Pope Francis say “walking together” the image in my mind is less a stroll than a military march. Lock step, in a straight line, and in a direction dictated by the “shepherd”.

CLERICALISM?
Many in the Church believe that is exactly what Vatican 1 said.
