First a comment: will people stop the b.s. about leaving the Church because they refuse to contribute to an organization that harbors pedophiles? If you pay local property taxes, you are supporting the largest harbor of pedophiles in the USofA - the public school system. So, knock off the self-righteous nonsense.

The social justice contingent of the American (and European) Catholic Church is a bunch of intellectual know-nothings. Without thinking things through, they spout nonsense, as did Ab. Chaput. There is no such thing as justice without the fulness of Truth, nor can peace be had except in Truth. If anyone wanted to note such, Trump has a track record of trying to do the right thing - look at his children, and recall the entire thrust of his TV show, The Apprentice, which was driven by Trump's search for the best candidate. Those two qualities - his family values and his business-sense search for excellence - tell me more about the real Trump than all the media ever will or can.

Good post! In fact, all of our institutions are corrupted. We all (meaning all Americans) allowed this. I suppose most of us were too busy working and raising families to completely understand what was happening.

I still say to Catholics who are fed up: find a parish that supports the old rituals and beliefs of the Church prior to VII. Attend Greek or Russian Orthodox Masses. Ignore the Pope who almost never speaks Ex Cathedra - if he even knows what that is.
