Just got my copy of "Goodbye! Good Men" yesterday and stayed up half the night reading it. It is an unbelieveable story that needs to get out among Catholics - our church is being marginalized and liberalized more and more each day. The author cites references and backs up the information he has presented, so it is pretty hard to refute what he is telling us.
Last night my parish had a Mass for the victims of priests and then a "listening" session for the parishioners - the topic was, of course, the crisis and abuse of children/trust in the Catholic Church. Out of a parish that numbers maybe 1000 people, perhaps 25 showed up. What the liberalization of our faith has produced is the irrelevance of God and faith in our daily lives - it is so tragic, especially for our children. Most of the attendees were over 60. There were two of us who have school aged children.
I noticed that Cardinals George and Maida and Bishop Wilton Gregory spoke yesterday regarding the homosexual problem in the priesthood (a symptom of our liberal Amchurch) - it seems to me that we will be able to judge how faithful our Cardinals/Bishops are to the tenets of Catholicism by their statements, or lack thereof, on the current crisis. Then, when they return to the US from Rome, we can either support them or not by letting them know our views via e-mail or letter.
It seems to me that the faithful are watching and waiting at the moment, waiting to take action.
I think I really like Bishop Wilton Gregory - previous to his statements from Rome, I had not heard much about him. He appears to be very orthodox.
