Clearly, this decision has unsettled you. You repeatedly reference it and post commentary about it. Is it your desire to unsettle others and tempt others to doubt the competency of Divinely-constituted authority to take correct decisions?
You really have to learn to trust in the Church that Jesus established. I notice that some of the commentary was lifted from Call to Action. Do you consider their "understanding" of the matter to be superior to the commentary of the legitimate, competent authority, whose commentary accompanied the decision that has so unsettled you?
Relax, the Catholic Church has not only not failed, it is incapable of doing so...

Not much "unsettles" me, I like to see all sides of the issues posted so I am aware of what is going on within the Church and I can then do further research. It is impossible for most of us (I suspect) to read everything writen in the magazines, on the Internet and in the newspapers, so I appreciate what others think is important enough to post on FR for purposes of information and discussion. In narses' defense, this was the first time I had seen this information posted, and I am happy that he posted it. A few times in the last months, I have had days that I have been confused and rather dejected... and I depend on you guys (the Catholics on FR) a lot for moral support - I would hope that if I post something that you don't like, but it bothers me, you can reassure me and not just accuse me of not trusting in the Church that Jesus established.

The Church cannot fail, but the fallible men in leadership can. Vatican I recorded many, many cases where Popes were wrong. Kasper's pronouncement is NOT infallible. The Words of the Consecration are essential by every other reading of Church law that I have seen. While this decision affects only a very few Faithful, it represents well Cardinal Kasper's views.
