All of this is stunningly obvious. You really wonder how liberals can continue to argue against it.

Let's hope that the Vatican is finally getting things back under control. Pope JP II was a great leader of the Church, but he had bad luck with his papal legates, and he relied too much on the American bishops for their advice in recommending new bishops.

Now, when a good bishop finally arrives, he has to start from the ground up, as this article says. The most difficult thing must be to turn things around when you not only find a shortage of priests, but many of those you have are not to be trusted.
