Oh and one more question:
Why is it that everyone is so up in arms about addressing the "real world" context of these documents? I am confused by this. We can't read these texts in a vacuum since they are responding at once to each other and to the social/political circumstances of the world around them. A document like Dignitatis Humanae seems to be a very secularly minded work - one that addresses a specific context. Is it wrong to read it within that context? Why?
