I will admit right off the bat that I'm not as smart as the Vatican people, but my confidence in them just keeps slipping and slipping and slipping, to the point where I'm staring to think perhaps Catholicism isn't my home anymore.
The only thing that keeps me Catholic is The Liturgy. It's true, I know it's true, and I don't want to abandon it, but I can't close my eyes to the things that seem so awry to me, so many of the Shepherds seem unwise and inattentive. It's a big struggle for me.
Hang in there. Things are changing. People are wising up. The Pope is old--things will either get better or worse when he's gone. If they get better--which I would doubt--then we'll all breathe a sigh of relief. But if they get worse, then the opposition will only grow stronger.
