"I'm not a big one for crises."

Pope Benedict XVI, as Cardinal Ratzinger, has said numerous times (as well as Pope John Paul II), that we are in the midst of a crisis. He puts much of the blame on the collapse of the liturgy.

Perhaps you should re-align your thinking more closely and docilely with that of our Holy Father.

Yes, yes, you're a cute little bugger you!

There are always dozens of crises ongoing. Millions of crises large and small. The world can be seen as a perpetual crisis, or series of crises. One might say that the greatest crisis was resolved in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Instead of crisis, crisis everywhere I choose to see crises as the natural consequence of our fallen world, and thus normative (in a disordered sense) rather than extraordinary.

Regarding the liturgy, "abuse crisis", etc, I believe the tipping point has come and gone.
