If we all do our parts, Parents(as the first teachers of the faith),bishops and priests,we can turn our Church around with the Lord's help.

I really object to this statement. My wife and I work very hard to inculcate our children (2 sons, 1 daughter) with authentic Catholic teaching on sexual morality. But we are ALONE. It's not taught in our CCD classes (despite having a 'conservative' pastor). It's NEVER, NEVER mentioned in homilies. There are no teen workshops on it in our parish. Our kids are being bombarded by sexually immoral ideas on TV and in our schools, including a full embrace of premarital sex and homosexual activity and NOT A PEEP from our Church (or any Catholic Church in our area). This should be a central focus of our Church leaders, if they truly cared about our kids. Then, because of our Church, we ARE FORCED TO EXPLAIN TO OUR KIDS THE NATURE OF THINGS LIKE ANAL RAPE, MALE/MALE FONDLING, ORAL SODOMY. Why? Because our kids have asked for details of what's been happening in the Church. Further, the schools are flooded with priest jokes. So, in sum, our Church just TOTALLY IGNORES traditional sexual morality, and forces us to explain total sexual perversion to our children. WE ARE DOING OUR PART - BUT WE ARE TOTALLY ALONE IN OUR CHURCH. AND OUR CHURCH IS BECOMING OUR ENEMY IN THIS REGARD.

Shoot your TV, home school your children if the local Parish doesn't offer decent education, help your children choose among the faithful for their friends and acquaintances. (Free, unsolicited advice from a parent who has done these things.) :)
