The "they" you're speaking of are the Catholics themselves. The Catholic Church is under attack from without AND more seriosly from within. I'm not Catholic, but am urging my Catholic husband to get active in preserving the decent teachings of his youth. Sadly, he's the 60 min Catholic -- the one hour mass kinda guy and doesn't seem motivated to do more than mumble under his breath regarding the current scandals. Until the members themselves rise up in defense of decency and become more proactive, I can't envision change.
