The greatest threat to the Church is from the people in the pews who are already dropping their contributions and may quit going to church or look to some other denomination if this mess isn't cleaned up.
The hierarchy is also falling victim to it's own liberal mindset. The same people who lament the execution of mass murderers were also too willing to forgive and forget the crimes perpetrated by their own members.
Other than that, you seem to agree with Bozell. The solution is not to drop out of the Church or to liberalize it, but to return to the fullness of the faith. People like Keller are trying to conceal that basic truth from their readers.
The Catholic Church's handling aside, I think your statement here is true, but far too simplistic.
The media and Hollywood don't just have "anti-Catholic" biases. They have pure, unadulterated anti-Christian biases.
If you are a person of faith (unless Islamic), you are subject to being ridiculed and ostracized by the media. It's just par for the course.
I agree. Let Satan and his minions in the door, and you get what you ask for.
Regardless of the current controversy, there is no denying that the Times (et al) are vigorously anti-Catholic, anti-Orthodox Jew, and anti-fundamentalist Christian.
Means that all those 'enemies of the Times' must have something in common..how about a transcendent, omnipotent Creator who left 'the rules' in stone with Moses???
Hmmm??
Indeed it has, but if hadn't botched so many other things along the way (many of them smiled upon by the liberal media), there wouldn't have been nearly so many abuse cases in the first place.
