The real problem is that this Pope is routinely ignored by a number of bishops and priests. They figure he's gonna die soon, (they rejoiced when he was shot) so why bother listening to him? I overheard a priest say to another that when John Paul dies "we'll get someone in who really knows how to pope". With that kind of a prevailing sentiment JPII can bust a few heads and will still have problems with them. He is on record telling them what they need to do to clean up everything, and they just yawn and go on.
The only solution is for the cardinals and bishops grab their guts and do what's right. Finishing cleaning up the seminaries, kick out all gay priests and if any of them have abused CALL THE COPS. But most importantly, they must make it priority number one to get each other in line. The morals of the Church are not the problem, the leaders have been lax on the job.
When they have cleaned up their acts, God will reward the Church with an abundance of good men who will have at their heart to serve God faithfully. Our Holy Father said one time that there are many young people who are looking to priests to show them the way to Christ and that these young people would joyfully enter the service of the Lord if they are shown a proper example.
I agree. Already, the most orthodox Catholic Churches are the ones having no trouble filling the seminaries and convents and have the pews full on Sundays.
