In years past it did indeed seem that the Catholic Church has turned a blind eye to a multitude of abuses. I got fed up years ago. We have a new Pope, and perhaps the abuses will get a hearing? That includes the whole scope, not the Schiavo marriage. That is merely an offensive blip on the screen, considering the horrors that go on.
I guess my fear is that rather than have a schism, things will go on much as they have, hardline on paper, permissiveness in practice, although I think there has been some reigning in as to the liturgy in some parts of the country, and I have no idea what is going on in the rest of the Catholic world, actually I do and do not like a lot of what I read about, heterodoxy.
To be objective, a lot of what we hold dear because it is traditional with a small t is the result of cultural infusion, but that is not the same as mixing the liturgy with other religions' holy books, can't remember what happened in India.
I've always liked the new mass but think that if I attended one in many parts of the world I wouldn't know where I was and not because I couldn't understand the language.
