Traditions are there for a reason :D

A German priest, for example, began working some years ago in a dicastery and was assigned an office whose windows faced in the direction of St Peter's Square. When he walked in, he found the window had been painted shut. He inquired with his superior why this was so , and was informed, "It was like this when I go here." This German, a moderate-to-progressive who grew up on the Second Vatican Council, regarded this restriction not merely as silly, but a metaphor for everything that was wrong with the contemporary Church and its failure to live up to Pope John XIII's spirit of "throwing open the windows" of the Church. One day he bought a chisel and a small knife and knocked out the paint, opening up the window. He regarded this as a small but symbolic victory for the postconciliar Church. Business called him out of the office for several hours, and when he returned he discovered the logic for the tradition - a gaggle of pigeons had settled down of his desk, his filing cabinet and everywhere else in  the office. After spending a clumsy, and messy, afternoon getting rid of the pigeons, the paint went back on the window. The priest has not stopped pressing gently for reform, but also moves with a more modest appreciation that sometimes there are reasons things are the way they are.
