His blog entry is consistent with his published writings over the years ... "If only everyone else were as perfect as I am, what a wonderful world it would be!"
In religious terms, unfortunately, that reasoning leads relentlessly to "The Church of You and Me, and I'm not too sure about you." Also I sympathize deeply with his desiring to protect his children from abuse (like, don't we all?) I don't think church-hopping teaches them a good lesson. Sorry, there's not a single church out there where everyone is perfect, "just like us."

I agree. We were hopping around last year because we lived in a diocese where even the TLM indult was not "fulfilling". So, we decided to move in order to stop this practice before our children are old enough to realize what we were doing. I struggle with the "perfect church" thing, but for the last few months, Sundays are now finally peaceful for both of us.
