I should have made clear that I was not intending to disparage the Catholic Church. As you say, however, your Churchmen are sounding more than a little kooky.
Observe and profit by the Episcopagan debacle. Disillusioned Episcopagans can at least "swim the Tiber." But where will Catholics swim to if the Catholic Church heads down the same path?
As it is written in Revelation: "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches."
Oh, don't worry. I didn't think you meant anything malicious.
Catholics have gone underground for the most part.
We are back in the catacombes in so many ways.
The diocesan structure is so rife with apostasy that it's eventually going to collapse, but there are bishops who have been quietly consecrated and live there normal lives as priests.
There are married men who have been secretly trained and ordained as "emergency" preists. Who say the Mass privately just to keep it going.
You have the traditionalists of various stripe that are attacking the problem head on.
And there are bishops and Cardinals that are sympathetic but unwilling to act until they believe they can have the most effect.
The Church will painfully and eventually just shed this skin of apostasy and God will restore her better than ever. Till then, we hold fast and wait for the night to end.
