The American Church, in particular a few diocese turned their backs on the church doctrine on ordaned homosexuals, and now those diocese are full of homosexuals so much so that they now control those diocese. Trading sex for favors and actively recruiting more homosexuals into them.

To this day, I still doubt highly that most lay folk of the church understand how rampant homosexuality has become in certain dioceses of the Catholic Church in america.

It needs to be stopped, and the only way it will be is if the Vatican itself kills it by purging the church of it.

You are correct. I live in one such diocese where the homosexual priests are rewarded with the lucrative parishes while the conservative priests are shuffled off to the more remote parishes with small (but happy) congregations. The level of liturgical abuse in the large parishes is stunning. But, as you wisely pointed out, the average catholic has never read the GIRM and accepts the 'novelties' as if they were sanctioned by the Vatican. I was able to fight back in my former RC parish and won! Unfortunately, there was no support from the others who viewed this priest as a 'gift' from the bishop /sigh/.

Correct again but as you well know, the Vatican moves at a snail's pace, anticipating that the bishops will handle the matter. Considering the size of the church, policing such a policy would be nearly impossible. While the libs play games with Rome, I have found a home in the Maronite Catholic Church. Other RCs in the forum have also looked "east". No EEMs ... no communion in the hand.
