Who are the real Clericalists?

       Clericalism is something of which I am quite often accused. Apparently, all one must do is merit this distinction is show a healthy reverence for the Sacral nature of the Priesthood. Furthermore, words such as backwards,  medieval and close-minded and even Crusader are also applies liberally, and with some frequency. Such "insults" as Medieval and Crusader, have no need for discussion, since I take them as compliments  I would, however, like to know what is it that makes me a "Clericalist" in the pejorative sense, i.e. an ecclesiolater.

      As far as my poor powers of reason can discern,the most common circumstance leading to my branding as a Clericalist is my insistence on on the observance of the Liturgical and Sacramental norms of Holy Mother Church. This hardly seems to merit a title of Clericalist, assuming the definition " One who attributes excessive power to the Clergy" is valid. For indeed, by insisting that the Clergy follow the forms and conditions set down by Holy Mother Church, am I not indeed acknowledging the limited power of the clergy? By affirming a higher power than the individual cleric, am I not opposing clericalism? In fact, I view Clericalism, or rather it's present manifestation, as one of the greatest evils infecting the Church today. This present manifestation, which I would term Neo-clericalism, emphasizes the paramountcy of each individual cleric's views and manners, in the confection of Sacraments, and all other priestly functions.

( For a cogent example of this, The Glorification of Humanism )
      This is indeed Clericalism. Going back to our definition of "One who attributes excessive power to the Clergy", we can easily see the correlation. By allowing, and encourage clerics to "make the liturgy their own" and insert their own prayers, own styles, own preferences, into the Sacred Liturgy, the Neo-Clericalists truly are attributing excessive power to the Clergy. Conversely, we, who insist on adherence to rubrics, norms, and traditions, are the very antithesis of clericalists. Where they give, into the hands of clergy, the unwarranted power over the Sacred Liturgy itself, we, on the contrary, demand fidelity and obedience to something greater. Where they give free license to the innovations and vicissitudes of the cleric, we expect and require rigid compliance.
       How is it then, that we are Clericalists and they are not?
