Raymond Arroyo is a hero. God bless him for reporting the hard truth about what’s happening to the Church. A number of the bishops/cardinals would undoubtedly love to shut him up. Pray for him that he can keep doing what he’s doing.

Good for them.

Catholic means Universal.

If there is schism in Germany, there is schism everywhere.

May be unavoidable. But let’s not skirt the fact that it exists.
