The liberal feminist nuns are retiring and dying out; their orders are not getting new vocations, so there are fewer of them to sit on Boards of Review to winnow out faithful Catholic young men who wanted to be priests, but whose 'outmoded ideas', like celibacy, and devotions, didn't fit their modernist agenda. I know of one Seminary in the South that had gotten so bad that the new younger Bishop wouldn't even send his candidates there until he'd had a chance to make some changes.
Unless the Bishops demand change, the Seminaries won't change.
It is this fact that is so distressing.
Well advised of the abominations permitted and encouraged to drive aways men who would otherwise become holy priests, the Vatican pretends to address puff and fluff fanfare.
In point of fact, degenerate sodomite dementia continues its evil grip on the Roman Catholic Church in America, while a Pope in Rome remains focused on the single greatest priority of his pontificate - his image.
This wannabe actor has dedicated his reign to achieve one totally consuming narcissistic indulgence - celebrity - using a public embrace of pagans, heretics, his benign ecumenical encouragement of false worship on consecrated ground, and his notorious association with one of the greatest murdering terrorist muslims in human history, Mohammed Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat Al Qudua Al Husseini, aka: Yasser Arafat.
This is the real reason American bishops - and bishops throughout the world - are running amuck, doing whatever they damn well please, AND saying what they damn well please.
It's a Roman Catholic version of the Charlie Manson 'family', with 'christian' warlocks from hell gleefully desecrating the Holy Eucharist, Sacred Dogma and Latin Tradition. Embracing sodomites, lesbians, murder of the unborn, and denial of the Resurrection are hallmark of the ecumenical 'we all pray to the same god' new church.
