The Catholic Church will never rise to the leadership role it once had until the current crop of Hierarchs including the present Pope, Bene XVI, truly admits to the horror of the Homosexual abuse Holocaust.
The Church must purge itself of Thousands of Homosexual priests get rid of Bishops like Roger Mahony and install strong courageous men whose life is centered on Christ.
If anything, the church, is in a moribund condition continuuing to lose followers by the thousands.
Forget Labels, Example is the only way to lead people to a wholesome Christlike life in the Catholic Church.
I couldn’t agree with you more!
What is needed here is the preaching of the **entire** gospel of Jesus Christ, and strong men and women totally dedicated to Christ and His message. Do that and the Catholic Church will recover.
By the way, I was educated for 10 in Philadelphia parochial schools, and I am a graduate of Villanova University. I have not been a member of the Catholic Church for 25 years.
A return to true Catholicism, based on the whole gospel of Jesus Christ is what is needed to revive the Church.
I’ve read the 4 Gospels many times and I do not recall Jesus calling for government forced redistribution of wealth by Roman guards. His message ( among many) was that of personal compassion and charity.
