Thanks for getting to the real problem. The problems as you describe them, are truly stupendous.

If as you say, sodomites have gained free reign within the Church, with a political bureaucracy that tolerates and even protects them, we are talking factions of Satan my friend.

I haven't flirted with millenialism for ages and ages, but one must wonder. How can the Church be a haven for predators of the Innocent? And what does it really mean?

There have always been tares among the wheat. Judas was one of the Twelve, as you may recall.

Evil men will always infiltrate the Church to try to destroy it from within. It happens in every generation.

The Church in America is not the Universal Church, it's only a part of it. At the end of the tenth century the Church in Italy was venal and corrupt beyond measure - and monks from Bavaria and France returned Christian discipline and renewed it. It's a continuous process.

And what does it really mean?

It means we have to pray more, have greater faith and give an even more uncompromising witness.
