When I look back on the history of what happens to those who abandon the Church that Christ established, it baffles me that some want to see the Vatican take us down the same path of destruction.

Throughout its history, the Church has encountered dissidents who believe they have the solutions to all that is "wrong" with the Catholic Church. There have even been heterodox popes ... but ... no matter how far astray they tried to lead the Church, they never erred with regard to doctrine. Christ promised to remain with His church until the end of time. As others separate, pull away and stray, the Catholic Church continues along the path layed out by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

As JPII told us on the day he was elected pope, "Be not afraid!". Draw your strength from the promise Christ made to His church ... "I am with you all days, even until the end of time".

My view is that the Roman Bishops will never admit married men to the priesthood on any large scale for two reasons:
1. risk of having to pay alimony
2. risk of having to pay child support
