I think you're right. Here in France we got the worst bishops in the world. Heretical episcopate. All is said. No hope on this side. It has been lasting for forty years.
The thing that always amazes me is that the French bishops always boast about how "well" the Church is doing, and that the fact that nobody goes to Mass anymore indicates that the Church has really succeeded! How???? The only person who boasts more is Cdl Danneels of Belgium, and Belgium has the lowest Mass attendance and sacramental reception of all the European countries. I just don't understand it.
There is always hope when those like you pray. God often rises up a great saint in these circumstances. Stay prayerful.
Peut-etre, peut-etre pas. Mon eveque est parmi les plus detestables aux Etats Unis.
Bienvenue a Free Republic!
I maintain a ping list for those interested in news stories about the Catholic Church. Please freepmail me if you wish to be added to the list.
Remember we do not place our hope in Bishops but in Christ and His promise to the Church.
IS there any movement to do anything on behalf of the people or has the "cburch" turned to stone? And - are the clergy all gay?
