Ping!
Until the Catholic Church begins to refuse communion to the Kennedys, Bidens, and Pelosi they are in no position to demand Catholics adhere to Catholic teaching...or not be embarrassed by it.
If all Catholic teaching were precious to the Church the ministry would act to protect it...by not allowing those not in communion with the teaching to take part in the mysteries.
That's a lot of shame to keep track of.
In the year 1085, William I of England ordered that there be a survey of the entirety of his kingdom. He then dispatched men to every corner to conduct a survey of all that lay within. In a single year it was compiled into a great book, called The Domesday Book, and it is still regarded as one of the great books of mankind.
I mention this because it is exactly what is needed for the Roman Catholic church, and well within their means.
That is, that the Pope should direct a small legion of knowledgeable but impartial and objective observers to survey all things Catholic, to develop a clear picture of the church in the world.
Too immense a project to do all at once, it should be subdivided into continents and countries and dioceses so that “the church may gaze upon the church.”
Good article bump.
