I'm not talking about architecture or the decorative arts. I'm talking about teaching small Catholic kids about oral sex and sado-masochism in parochial schools. I'm talking about priests who get punished for reporting corruption. I'm talking about a Pope who awards red hats to apostates. This is not the way it's supposed to be. The system is broken and needs fixing bad. You couldn't satirize any of this--reality is already way beyond satire. Yet Rome will insist Lefebvre was wrong and that the Church was and is not in crisis--even while everything is collapsing into a gigantic black hole.

Man, you have lost your nerve. Did the fact that Alexander VI was pope never register with you? Or the fact that Francis Borgia was a saint. Consider what such men as Phillip Neri and Ignatius Loyola had to contend with because they were able to turn the papacy away from the sink of desolation that it seemed to be falling into. Stop ranting about the disappearance of the Church you thought you knew and face up to the reality. The barque of Peter is tossing on stormy seas and here you are raving at the pilot.
