Why not tell it to laymen, too? After all, if the local ecclesiastical hierarchy is in need of instruction, much more the laity who are instructed by them, and who have been widely corrupted by various false ideas drawn from the poisoned wellsprings of heresy and false ecumenism.

It's going to have to start at the top. B16 is going to have to teach from the ground up. (not the language of Tubungen)

He's got to make up for decades of his predecessors being asleep at the switch.

Plain language as Pope St.Pius X insisted is necessary. I was encouraged to read his comparison of the new compendium to the Pius X catechism. I haven't read it yet so, I'll keep my hopes reserved.

It was the lack of discipline coming from the top that allowed this confused era to grow into a crisis. It's going to take a Pope willing to be hated and willing to let a lot of obstinate Catholics leave in order to clean it up.
