If that were true, it still couldn't have happened in a vacuum. It's one thing for Church officials to be "corrupted" - I think of corruption as things like taking bribes and kickbacks, stuff like that - and another thing altogether for officials to be actively promoting things that are so contrary to everything that the Church was erected to stand for. There would have to have been some outside force that has been very dedicated to a certain goal. I've heard rumblings from various sources about a certain Antonio Gramsci, who's said to have laid the groundwork for a deliberate "long march through the institutions" by certain subversive forces, but I don't know how credible those types of stories are. But I don't know what else to conclude, because this is just not a normal type of degeneration.

This has always been the case, there have always been bad Bishops. >>>>.>I've heard rumblings from various sources about a certain Antonio Gramsci,

That's Askel5's bag, I'm not an expert on him, but his tactics are widely used by the left.
