I think we are rudderless right now

I think JPII is still at the rudder, fighting the storm. But in a storm of this magnitude it sure feels as if we are rudderless...

Oh! I was talking about FR and the CC being rudderless! I've never felt the Church was rudderless, just that a lot of the members are deaf.

I was home today and I had EWTN on as I went about my business. I saw quite a few Cardinals speak at different Masses, and I had the feeling I was waiting for them to do something... recapture? regroup? I don't know, I can't explain it. But they seem kind of lost or maybe it is that they've lost something, I don't know. I'm not that perceptive and even if I could figure out what it is that is missing, I don't think I could verbalize it.

JPII may be the admiral of the fleet, but some of the captians of his ships are plotting mutiny. And we're crewmen who suspect our captains of something, and are just waiting for them to make a move. If they start lobbing shells at the flagship, we may have to rise up ourselves.
