I wasn't trying to argue with you per se. It was that from my vantage point, I've seen great improvements in the Catholic Church over the last couple of decades. I think JPII stopped the bleeding.
But you are absolutely correct about the whole "priests gone wild" crap and its aftermath. Hopefully Benedict will continue to clean house!
I hope Benedict does. I was saying to the other poster that I don't think the Episcopal church can be cleansed because there is no mechanism with which to do it. With the RC there is Excommunication, which seems to have fallen largely out of favor. Let us hope that Benedict revives it.
I will probably join you soon. The Holy Spirit will show me the way.
