I just think that fighting amongst ourselves does more harm than good.

I don't want to fight Catholics either. But I think we have all been sheeple for far too long. It's amazing what the bishops have tolerated, and what we have tolerated.

Yendu,you are correct about a lot of things but it is now time to be discerning.There is no excuse for the fact that after at least six months of being apprised of this sick situaton most of us have gone on to other things or just keep harping on the opprobriousness of it all.

We should be formulating our own agenda,the other side has been travelling across the nation holding their agenda up for disgruntled Catholics to adopt. Most of us know that would be the death knell for the Catholic Church in this country.

We need to use our brains to come up with catchy slogans that reflect the truth because the truth reflects the solution to the scandal.

Number one,the Catechism should be taught and followed.Number two,our Bishops and Cardinals must be in union with the Holy Father and the teaching,universal Magisterium.Number three,official documents from Popes and the sacred Congregations must be obeyed.

And Yendu,I think you have come up with a good number four.The published natterings of the bishops in collectivity should be disregarded,this goes for matters catechetical and liturgical and geopolitical.And since no one should pay the least mind to what they issue the USCCB should be disbanded and their properties sold,ther staffs terminated and the money saved,put in funds to take care of whatever other trouble they may have gotten us into that we don't know about yet.

Yendu,you need to take a positive attitude,we,with the help of our just and merciful God can turn the tables on them and we need to start now.What do you think?
