Viewing the shifting winds over the course of time, we can see that the type and orientation of opposition always reflect the historical moment. There are progressive and prophetic voices in periods when classical Christianity or neo-Christianity dominates, and reactionary, fundamentalist and conservative voices in moments of ecclesial reform and attempts to return to evangelical origins and the style of Jesus.

As one example, some few Catholics still wish for a return to the Latin Mass as opposed to the vulgate Mass. And there is a split among Catholics on the subject of birth control.

Part of this too might be politics.
