I completely agree with you that there are many Catholic institutions that have been taken over by liberals in the clergy. There is no dispute there. But they don't interpret Scripture and they do not make infallible proclamations (thank God!)

I was listening to a radio progam this morning that was talking about the new Ave Maria University in Florida. The priest involved in setting up the new university was lamenting the fact that so many Catholic universities were basically now secular colleges, without daily Mass, without upholding the pillars of truth of the Church, and allowing co-ed dorms, Planned Parenthood on campus, etc., etc.

There is a problem, and with the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, we will clean it up. The problem was the priests who went through seminary and were ordained in the 60s and 70s. The liberal movement wasn't just in secular society, but in most churches as well, including the Catholic Church.

But the fact that some priests are errant and some priests are gay and some priests should be defrocked, doesn't detract from the truth of the teaching of the Catholic Church which stems from 2,000 years of faith and history.

I, too, get very frustrated when a bishop doesn't stand up against the liberal pro-abortion establishment. I get frustrated when my parish priest neglects a prayer for the unborn. I want to scream and jump up and down, but the fact is I -- and others -- need to put our thoughts and feelings into actions and prayer.

There are many holy priests out there. The young priests being ordained today are overwhelmingly traditional. They are not afraid to stand up and speak the truth, even when it turns their million dollar donors against them.

I don't know ultimately what will happen, but I do know one thing: The gates of Hell will not prevail, (even when Satan pulls a few into his greedy claws.)

God bless.
