"Perhaps we could use more solid preaching on Humanae Vitae?"
Agreed. The days of obedience to doctrine as a reason to adhere to teachings has passed us by. I think it is time for the priests to incorporate the moral teachings of the Church into the homilies. The laity need to hear it from the shepherds, rather than this confusion they hear from so many voices.
EXPLAIN the teachings, don't just spout them out. Show that following the culture of death is a dead-end ride and that the Church's moral teachings will help to secure a better, more happy life for us, today! Not in the distant future we call heaven. Only then will the laity begin to see that the secular call to license is not the answer.

Father Corapi for Pope!
They won't preach it if they don't believe it themselves. Many have lost their faith, they themselves have been mislead into error by heretical teachers in the seminaries, and some may have never had the faith to begin with.
There are other priests who do hold the faith, but fear repercussions for proclaiming it boldly. We should do our best to support the holy priests and clergy who boldly defend the faith in every way we can, and we should let the collections baskets of the others go empty.
