Radical?

While I agree with Cardinal Burke's recent comments about the influence of 'radical' feminism in the Church I must ask: Why must we continually use the adjective 'radical' as if the ordinary variety were A- okay? Do we characterize its fruit as: radical abortion, radical contraception, radical homogenization of gender, radical homosexuality, the radical empty home? May we let our yea be yea, and our nay be nay as the good book says. Or perhaps we need radical yeas and radical nays?
