I found this online. It doesn't mention the source, but since Francis, less than 18% of new priests consider themselves even somewhat "progressive."
There is hope for the future

How the Sexual Revolution Conquered the Catholic Church

By their own admission.
It’s Biblical.
So you don’t get it.
Maybe one day. (I hope)
But not yet.
That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
[John 17:21]
One with God and Jesus.
Not one with homosexual, child abusing, marxist, islam supporting religionists.
So what about it?
There are three categories of Christians: Catholics, schismatics and heretics.
So you’re only one with the non-Catholic homosexual, child abusing, marxist, islam supporting religionists who profess Jesus Christ.
I get it. Anything goes except Catholicism.
And all that is built upon faith in Christ and only Christ. It seems some Roman Catholics have a problem with that. I can understand why.
Its been that way for over 50 years. My older brother went into the seminary in 1965 to become a priest. Left after 18 months and said the place was full of gays and pedos that were there specifically to have trusted access to kids and nobody had the slightest interest in changing it. Now they are all in power, so what do you expect? Burn it down.
I said *religionists*.
That includes all, so no, your attempts to slander me fell flat.
My sister has an old high school friend who is gay and his partner had gone into seminary and left because it was so bad that he couldn’t handle it, and he was gay himself.
Based on your posting history and your constant criticism of Catholicism, you are yourself in open rebellion against the Catholic church.
Why then do you expect and/or require others to submit to what you yourself reject?
I specifically said *God and Jesus*.
Or are you saying that God and Jesus are homosexual, child abusing, marxist, islam supporting religionists?????
Jesus chose Twelve Apostles.
One betrayed Him, one denied him three times before the cock crowed, and the rest all fled in terror when he was arrested.
So I guess let’s just call the whole thing off. I mean, Christ only died for Saints, right?

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So what version of Catholicism is the one you consider legitimate? Who was the last legitimate pope?
Because if you are going to demand that people submit to Roman Catholicism, the only choice they have is the present one, which you also reject.
I’m not demanding anything from anyone.
The weird thing is no one would ever say that about calculus, physics, biology, or even philosophy. They are all fields of study with a history of collective knowledge, building upon key works and especially, great minds who helped increase our knowledge of these fields. "Hey - here's a calculus book, you don't need a teacher - now go figure it out yourself!" Said no one, ever.
Yet people will do this for Christianity.
