The USCCB is also part of the problem. They do very dumb things like equating racism with abortion.

I completely agree.

Another factor is the pedophilia tragedy of the last few years. Shame and embarrassment caused a lot catholics, especially the boarder line non practicing ones to turn away.

I think this was all caused by changing the Liturgy and the "Spirit of Vatican II" - where communists/socialists/liberals used the opening of Vatican II as an excuse to cause Mass heresy. God will allow horrible things to happen in order to bring His people back to the truth.

The scandal of bishops not using discipline to teach what the Church believes about baby butchery will dwarf the homosexualist priest scandal. Around 50 million dead and not one public announcement confirming by name Catholic pols who not only help the slaughter along but claim that it’s cool to do so per church teaching are excommunicated for their odious actions. I really don’t know what is going on with that, and why these bishops get away with it, but I reckon you can only bend so far to avoid a schism before your in one anyhow.
