Which Catholic Priest is more "Extreme"?

You can't go to more than a couple of blogs before you hear words like "extreme Catholic", "uber-Catholic", "liberal/conservative Catholic", or something of that nature. Labels are thrown around, for better or worse, because we - the faithful, need a way to compartmentalize and organize our faith. We don't see continuity in our faith and so we have to draw lines simply to make sense of it all.

In many parishes those who kneel are extreme. In others those who hold hands during the Pater Noster (aka Our Father) are the extremists. So which is it? This might be a little unfair but I am going to use to simple pictures from posts regarding pictures taken at Masses this weekend and let you the reader be the judge.

Which priest is more "extreme"? Which conveys a "sense of the Sacred"?
