 It's also a story that cannot be written about neutrally. The outsider to Catholicism is unlikely to fully grasp or appreciate the stakes or to take the competing theologies as seriously as do the bishops, cardinals, and lay Catholics embroiled in the Church's civil war. The insider, the believer, is likely to be pulled to one side or another to see God's hand at work in either reform or resistance to assume that Holy Scripture has a favorite in that struggle.
