I hope the people/parishoners take to the streets in LARGE numbers. There doesn't seem to be such a pronounced demonstration as of yet!
They are Christians and are waiting for a display of sincere sorrow on the part of the Church so they can forgive the past and move on. If that sincere sorrow does not manifest itself soon, they will simply vanish from the membership.
There is a prophecy of a "great falling away", and events and attitudes such as are going on today can certainly start that ball rolling.
