I do a lot, thank you! But our role (assuming you’re a layperson) is different from that of the bishops, and the reason we are facing the crisis that is before us is that the bishops have failed in their teaching duties, either wilfully or out of timidity, ever since Vatican II. This was reinforced by the national bishops’ councils, which were nothing but a device used by the liberals behind the kidnapping of Vatican II to enforce their agenda all over a national area.

The only bishops in the US who ran successful, spiritual dioceses were the ones who refused to go along with the USCCB, even though it made them outcasts. But that’s the price of being a shepherd.

This thread is about the national bishops’ conferences, and I think the author’s thesis is correct.

One thing is to say we could do more, and another thing is to condemn and judge men who have given up wives, children, and family to dedicate themselves to God, in a world that treats them like suspect criminals because of the atrocities of a few. Nobody is perfect, and even the worst priest is a better person than me. God has a plan, and He knows what He is doing.
