The time to clean house was in the 1960s and 1970s. They didn’t. Fault them all you want for that.
The bishops today cannot clean house in any real sense. They can do it but it will have no effect.
They should still do it. But don’t kid yourself that it will clarify anything for anyone except those who already are clear about this stuff—you and me and those like us. For the rest, the bishops cleaning house will mean nothing.
Sorry to disappoint you but looking for a solution from the bishops is hopeless. The time for that has passed.
They should still do it, for the record.
I strongly disagree. Real action on the part of the hierarchy would bring the issue into sharp moral relief. It is precisely the inaction of the bishops which provides comfort to the CINO majority by providing tacit approval of their apostasy. Do you really believe that if the Church refused a catholic burial to someone like Ted Kennedy, for example, that that action would not have impact?
