DIAMETRIC in a sentence
“I would note that this specific theme is generally a matter which we have been discussing recently, and it is a very necessary subject to address indeed for wherever there are elements which would adopt principles which put them in diametric opposition, be it to the one or the other form of the Roman liturgy, to the Magisterium, to the Holy Father, or to the Church generally, or which would adopt a spirit of rupture and discontinuity over one of continuity and reform in continuity, this is assuredly not the right path and needs to be corrected.”
