I try. I may not be eloquent or diplomatic, but I try. I got off one sinking ship. I'll get out cutlass and boarding axe if I have to, to prevent this one from going down.

LOL! It's not going down, because we have the Lord's pledge. Still, one of the reasons it's not going down is because we have a lot of committed laypeople, and it seems to me that the Lord is finally lighting a fire under a few bishops. I think a lot of the clergy wouldn't have been as bad as they were if it hadn't been for the bishops (who are actually not young - the youngest are Roger Dodger and Hubbard, I believe) who got elevated right after VatII. Sometimes people neglect the effect of bishops, whom most of us tend to think of as minor local bureaucrats, but I believe that it was the bishops who nearly brought down the Church in the US.
