Bonaventure,
I was simply pointing out that with enough influence and enough time, a word can lose it's original meaning. I wasn't trying to endorse liberalism in any of it's varied meanings. It was an analogy.
My great-grandfather helped form a Knights of Columbus council in 1906. Would he recognize the Knights of today? Would he recognize a modern NO Mass as Catholic? Does "Catholic" mean the same in the eyes of the laity as it did in 1906?
