It's just the same articles, over and over again. To answer some of your questions: Yes, the Church is still indeed Catholic, and yes, most priests still believe in the Church's teachings, and no, the disgruntled Trads are not the arbiters of what is and isn't Catholic.

There is certainly nothing wrong with attempting to correct the wrongs that have occurred since Vatican II and no reason to be defensive about all of the ills that we face as Roman Catholics. The picture below of a Catholic from Boston in 2003 says it all. It depicts someone protesting the scandalous priest abuse crisis. It could also depict those who wish to bring traditional values, doctrine, and dogma back to the Faith.

For me, I have real hope and do pray that our new Pope Benedict XVI will bring about stability and direct a resurgance in the True Faith. But it should be recognized that ignoring problems without acknowledging or addressing them, is the very reason we are in the situation we are in today.
