Are YOU try out for Priesthood? having your head buried in the sand does not fix the problems of the catholic church. It seems that no matter how deep we dig we just keep finding more dirt about what the real inner working of the catholic church is made of. Read your history of Paul and the early church and see how much of it applies to the catholic church today.

I’ve read St. Paul and much written about him and it always confirms what we already knew: people are sinners, even people in the Church and even the leaders of the Church. Since all people are sinners the yardstick should be the great saints of all ages not today’s sinners. The fact that God still uses and has always used the Church - chock full of sinners as it always has been - to make and train great saints is proof the Church is great. The sinners only prove what we already knew - men are sinful.
