Leftists in general, and media leftists in particular, absolutely hate the Catholic Church.
However, if this is going on, and there's yet another coverup, I'd say the Catholic Church has nobody to blame but itself, and they've broken faith with their flock.
My faith has seen fit to toss scripture aside and go for the PC angle. I'm methodist. I still have my faith, I just have little use for the church.
I hope the next pope is Latin American, American or African.
There are far to many liberal preists infesting the church.
One thing we need to remember is that we are all the Church, and as the mystical body of Christ, the Church as a whole cannot sin. However, the men who are in positions of responsibility in the Church, as well as each individual member of the Church, can (and do - daily) sin. I think that our greatest scandal is the absolute lack of instruction that has gone on for years (decades) in our Church. The gates of Hell will not prevail against our Church, and She will continue on, but I fear that we are in for some shocks. We will be shaken, but I exhort those in the Church to remember that priests and bishops are humans, broken with sin and as frail as we are, who make mistakes. Even the pope sins (remember that his infallibility is in matters of faith and morality in the Church, just as God's Old Testament prophets were able to correctly discern God's will for His people).
We mustn't leave Christ's Church because of others' sins! Cling to Jesus, the center of our Faith, for He will sustain us through these turbulent times.
True, the lefties hate us RC's.
Also true that certain Churchmen have only themselves to blame.
That's the reason the TTGC (see my tagline) exists. We will have a great deal of work to do. If Dreher is right, we will also need international memberships.
