Now, it IS true that tiny pockets of Christianity remain, but those pockets of Faith are few and far between and the Hierarchy tolerates but does not promote those places (I am thinking of FSSP and Bishop Bruskewtiz etc).

I'm surprised you even post here, seeing as how those of us who love the Church today and are not longing for the "glory days" of the Tridentine Liturgy are such rabble in your eyes.

Somehow, I get the impression that, during a sermon on sin, you would be patting yourself on the back and thanking God that you are not like the rest of men.

Is it too much to ask you to read a post carefully before you respond? I was addressing THE HIERARCHY.

I am NOT surprised you'd "get that impression," because you often take the exact opposite impression of what a post intends. I was speaking of SIN and I was addressing personal SIN and I addressed my own Confession and Penance. One who goes to Confession - frequently - and does Penance is not a Pharisee who thinks himself less sinful than others.

Sinkspur. I understand you have a problem with me and my thoughts. But at least due me the kindness of reading my posts carefully before responding and try to withold judgement of my internal dispositions and motivations. I really DO know my motivations and intentions better than do you
