I've been transcribing tapes of and on of a group called "Faithful Catholics of NE Florida". They have some amazing folks come in ... all of whom tell the same story.
Regardless the paltry research effort needed to scratch the candy-coating surface to reveal the most revolutionary of intent, Dioceseses not only CONSISTENTLY let the wolf in the henhouse and appoint radicals to head up the Education office, the "Peace and Justice" office, the CHD pursestrings and committees on liturgy, they almost uniformly DENY the traditional the opportunity to speak and are careful to distance themselves from whatever actions are taken by publicly announcing they've no blessing from the Bishop.
It's the same tack only worse as used by the GOP who'll bend over backwards to listen to, curry the favor of and appoint those with agendas diametrically opposed to the so-called "personal convictions" for which we elected these bozos in the first place.
Just another reason -- besides the fact that the Church is not a democracy -- that I cringe when folks suggest that elections would be the answer.
A number of bishops have let their chancery offices be run by the liberals. They let Sister Femi-Nazi run the show. She makes decisions about priest placement, about liturgies, about sex ed, about the structure of new churches insuring that Our Lord gets a closet all His own miles away from the altar front and center. These bishops need to reclaim their manhood. Pronto.
