Rather than being rebels inside and against the Church to serve our own ideas of what is right, let us instead be rebels who dedicate ourselves to profoundly living the counter-cultural Gospel values that Jesus has given us in Scripture, Tradition, and the living witness of the Church.

Translation: Act like a wimp. Keep your head down. Ignore or conceal wrongdoing for fear of "scandal". Pay, pray and obey.

This is the same attitude that led to the clergy pervert cover-up.

What virtue is there in ignoring liturgical abuses such as persons giving homilies who are prohibited by Church law from doing so, or much worse, ignoring spiritual abuses such as a priest preaching homoheresy in his homily or laity who corrupt the CCD programs with false ideologies?

False teaching and corruption must always be opposed. The salvation of souls depends on it.

I think THIS is the issue. If anyone can be saved, then why bother?
