But who will be doing the cleaning? Those that have swept this under the carpet for god knows how long? Those who have authorized, as some claim, over 1 billion over the years as settlements?
It looks as if the rank and file, salt of the earth, conservative Catholics are going to put so much pressure on the church reform will occur. This could turn out very well. The battle will be, as the article states, between the liberals who want to change the rules of the church (allow marriage, stop viewing homosexuality as a sin) and the conservatives. If conservatives do not win, the church is, in my opinion, finished. I least I hope that would be the case. A Catholic Church which fully embraced the left would be a nightmare for everyone, no matter what their faith.
I can think of about 10 million faithful laypeople who would JUMP at the chance!
