"If, as hinted in yesterday's New York Post, there is at least one American cardinal who will soon be outed as an active homosexual, this is only going to get worse.

It's truly becoming the Church of Sodom.

Then, let's get ON with it. Let's lance this boil and get the rest of the putrescence out of our Church. Don't blame the whole Church because its leadership is corrupt. The Magisterium is the same as always, and is incorrupt. The problem is with the human/sinful officers. Pray for God to make sure this purification is thorough, and that ALL the evil ones are expunged. And pray for US, the Faithful, and our GOOD priests, that we can keep our courage up and see this through to the end.

I don't blame the whole church. And I agree with you, let's get on with the purification. And I do pray to God that the purification be thorough. - But I say stuff like that because I see so many Catholics who think this a much ado about little. And with that I disagree vehemently. I think some people need to be shocked into confronting the reality of what's going on. There is a stinking, canerous boil of putrescence in this Church, and it needs to be carved out and jettisoned. And my biggest fear is that this won't happen. Who will have the guts and courage to do what needs to be done? The Pope? He's a good guy, but don't know if he's up to it. The Cardinals and the Bishops? They're neck deep in the putrescence, and its gushing from their pores to begin with. The good priests (of whom, I agree, there are many, many)? They don't have much power, it would seem. The laity? Despite all the screams of anguish (like mine), I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to be trod over. Maybe I'm too pessimistic. I pray that I am.
