So much for, "In essentials unity, in non-essentials liberty, in all things charity."

What I don't understand is the protesters keep saying they want dialogue, but from what I understand is that the Vatican is simply backing up the decision already made by the Syro-Malabar's Church Synod, so wouldn't the time for dialogue have been with the Synod when those decisions were being made, and now that the decision has been made by the competent authority, obedience is in order. It doesn't seem to me that the Vatican is doing anything that the Synod, the local authority, hasn't already decided. I'm not saying people can't disagree with decisions (I'm sure everyone has disagreements with liturgy decisions all around the world), but when the rubber meets the road you gotta go with what the Church says.
