Notice they take no stand on "controversial issues" (read homosexual priests, celibacy and female ordination). ..."the authority for lay Catholics to organize and flex their muscle stems from the language of the Vatican II church reforms, which call on laity to assume key roles in the church."

This also appears to be the war plan of homosexual groups within the church. A story in the NYT yesterday quoted members of a "gay Catholic church" (an oxymoron) in San Francisco -- totally denying that homosexual priests are the problem, but ranting about the removal of bishops. In other words, their tactic is to ignore the real issues, and focus on attacking the hierarchy. I don't think it would be a bad idea if these "gay congregations" and doctrinal reformers split off from the Church, but that isn't their goal; as with the gay movement, their aim is acceptance within the establishment. Watch for them to attack conservative bishops as well as the cardinals and bishops involved in the cover-up.

Yes, I agree with you. The sad part is, many of the laity who have been subjected to "love your neighbor" "don't judge others", etc., ect., homilies over the past 30 years are unwitting accomplices. I find that most people I know take things on face value - if you look below the surface on this HOMOSEXUAL (not pedophile) problem, you can see that it was/is a concerted infiltration plan to wreak havoc on the Roman Catholic Church.
