Differing views on whether a formal split is appropriate

From Fr. Nick Knisely's Entangled States blog, reporting from GC:

One other bit of news - I had a chance to speak with a reporter covering the Convention.

He's hearing a different sort of mood than I am - one of a willingness on both ends of the theological spectrum to have a formal split.

I'm not hearing that, but I suppose that's because I've been talking to people in the middle.

We'll have to see if a position can be crafted that will be able to speak to those in the middle or not.
