When you have a secularized priesthood, an ignorant populace and an uninspiring liturgical life, what do you expect?
Improvement!
The pendulum of Catholic history has swung to the left and his coming back the other way. It is now a little bit to the right of dead center and going further right.
Have no doubts. I have been saying this for five years now.

Ouch!
It might help if the Church would encourage Catholic parents to seek alternatives to the secular humanist seminaries also known as public schools. Many people consider homeschooling and Catholic schools impractical or too expensive. I don't understand that reasoning. It reminds me of parents who call talk shows to tell about the latest outrage perpetrated by their child's school. My question to them is, why do you continue sending your child to a place where his well-being is threatened on a regular basis?
