<> He would agree with you, as would Pope John Paul II. IN an Encyclical,He apologised to me and thee for the abuses. He continuallly calls for the Bishops to fulfill their Duties.For some reason, they don't appear ready to do that yet<>

Thanks, CG. Can you give me a link to the "apology" encyclical? I'd like to read that one, too.

I nearly cried when I read the first one you linked from Paul VI.

The homily on the EWTN Mass today was given by a Japanese? Missionary Priest... it was unbelievable, almost over the edge in condemnation of the abuses of the Mass today (I loved it). He called on us to be "Catherine of Siena" and take priests, bishops, cardinals and even the Pope (!) to task for allowing some of the things that are happening in the Church today. It was one of the hardest hitting homilies I've heard on EWTN. Scroll down to "Today's Homily" if you skip ahead of the readings, you can hear the homily.
