If John Paul really wants to be helpful to the Church, he will clean out the seminaries in the United States that for decades have been taken over by leftist apostates for radical causes such as gay clergy, church pacification, pro-abortion, and other causes that directly contradict traditional Catholic teachings. In the past few years after the pedophilia/sex scandels some lip service has been paid to these points, but not enough direct action to clean out the "pink palaces" which many seminaries have been known as because of the rampant gay sexual behavior encouraged by the leadership. In the last 3-4 decades extremist liberal thought has been allowed to almost destroy the credibility of the Catholic Church, and Rome has virtually ignored the problem.
And with all this going on, the Pope is centering his attention on restricting Prostestants from partaking in Communion. I don't think the Church has its priorities straight. (no pun intended, lol)
You seem to have a good grasp of the situation, yet you miss that the abuses in the Eucharist are symbolic of every liberal/progressive/radical cause. Only by restoring the Eucharist and the attendant things (like the liturgy) to the proper place can these items be addressed.
The Eucharist is the most important thing, and those who have been watering it down, abusing it and attempting to deprive the people of a Eucharistic culture are exactly the ones who need to reform or be removed.
Obviously, follow-through is required here, but you will always be able to tell the health of the Church by the Eucharist.
