Francis Porretto discusses the idea of Catholic ‘Reform’ in a lengthy and fascinating post. I touched upon similar concerns, but in a vastly inferior way, in a recent post.

A church must, by its very nature, be a conservative institution. The point of a church is the conservation and dissemination of a body of doctrines. In the case of a Christian church, the body of doctrines to be conserved and disseminated was laid down by Jesus of Nazareth, whom Christians hold to have been the Son of God, made flesh to bring them to us.

I can’t do this justice with a single pullquote, and it isn’t ethical to reproduce the whole thing, so in the words of Francis, hie thee hence and read it.
