Are you referring to the doctrine of the Real Presence? My point was that these so-called "spiritual shepherds" do not believe in a major doctrine of the Catholic Church and they choose for their seminaries men who are just as faithless. They don't come right out and admit this, but they persecute those who believe, and they remain silent about their own disbelief. The Vatican is uninterested in their deficiencies--which, in itself, is interesting. It should be moving heaven and earth to protect the deposit of faith. Instead it shrugs and moves on.

Well, there are those who treat the following as though these were lines of poetry rather than an article of faith.

On the Church in the Modern World (Gaudium Et Spes) The Church strives to be that spotless bride to be presented at the "wedding feast of the Lamb" The Eucharist help us to become holy, "The Lord left behind a pledge of this hope and strength for life's journey in that sacrament of faith where natural elements refined by man are gloriously changed into His Body and Blood, providing a meal of brotherly solidarity and a foretaste of the heavenly banquet." (Chapter III: Man's Activity Throughout the World)
