The tragedy of faithless priests is a tragedy in itself, regardless of doubts one may have concerning the sacraments. Agreed. But the error that one can fall into is to lose faith in the Sacraments as performed by these priests. My mother used to say that no matter how inane the priest's homily is, no matter how ugly the wreckovated church is, no matter how hypocritical you think the priest is, the Eucharist is still there!

Incidentally, I think that Donatism is loosely related to Luther's apostacy in that it encourages clubby churches of the "saved" htat are at the same time frightened of the sacraments. But I don't see a straight link to the pederast priests scandal.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. As for any connection to the pederast priest scandal, you're right it has no direct link. It's more of a personal thing. It's easy to become discouraged by this filth that seems to have infested even some of the highest levels of our Church leadership. People claim to have "lost their faith" over this. But how can one lose faith in the Sacraments?
To: Petronski; onyx
Ohhhh...Pshaw! No, really. I've very discriminating with my praise, but I believe in lavishing it where it's due. Please take a bow for Post #433!

I have studied too much history. Priests, Bishops and even popes have let people down by giving into sins of the flesh or sins of greed or whatever. This is just the latest round.
But Jesus still is in the tabernacles, the sacraments are still the sacraments, and the Eucharist is still something that should call us, feed us, and lead us to where God wants us to be.
And that is the good thing that gives me hope.
