“There is absolutely no way for the common believing people to reform this church”.
Wait and see.
Every 400 years the Catholic Church renews itself—and we are now seeing the dawn of another era of renewal.
There are many, many “common believing people” in the Catholic Church and it has always been the lay people in each renewal time who have saved the Church. It is from them that a new generation of good priests comes and we begin again.
Only God is changeless—humanity is always in cycles of growth and decline until the Lord comes to gather his Church for all eternity.
So you left. Be assured that someone else has come to pick up your baton. It has always been this way.

Well said. I was looking forward to meeting some of these creeps but alas none at mine. We’re all voting McCain.
