Venturer I agree to a point. However, the Catholic church has been growing around the would. My wife converted to the faith from Buddhism. Our son is in the Seminary. That biggest growth in the church is in Africa and Southamerica and USA. We have seen an explosion since the church changed the instruction of Revolution Theology in Most Semiaries around the would. Most of the grow is since the 1970’s. You will find that since the Vatican reviewed the seminary and got their teachings and behavior in line. Now there is an explosion of vocations.
For the life of me I cannot see why the Church allowed themselves to get in the position of hiding deviant Priests and eturning them to parish’s to practice more of their deviancy.
I am simply glad to see they are taking steps to stop it.
I have noticed that we are getting some youger priests, and the seminarian we have at our Church this summer seems a fine young man who will be a great asset to the Church.
Well, one of the Bornigans told me that for every person who converts to Catholicism, 99,999,000 Catholics leave the church. They read it on the Web somewhere, and it must be true. (sarc)
