The Catholic Church will survive. To suggest otherwise is ludicrous. After adopting swift procedures for punishing and defrocking sexual abusers, a more pressing long-term problem awaits. Rooting out the corrupting influence of the dissident culture will not be easy, but it will be absolutely necessary to spare future victims of predator priests."

Excellent piece. I hope his conclusions are accurate but I am extremely skeptical. IMO, the current Hierarchy is timourous and too accomodating to the postChristian zeitgeist.

I will send my money to the FSSP and support individual deserving poor in my own community. Orders like the FSSP, Legionaries for Christ etc, along with Bishop Bruskewitz deserve our support.

I saw McCarrick during the news conference. He actually said, "The Pope is turned-on by young people." Now, I KNOW he didn't intend a double entendre but, Good Lord, is it TOO MUCH to ask EVEN IF YOU DO NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE PLEASE DON'T USE THE WORDS "TURNED-ON BY YOUNG PEOPLE" WHEN REFERRING TO THE POPE OR BISHOPS?"

Man oh man.....
