[Mrs. Don-o]

Again, I ask your forgiveness. When I get angry, I can take on this battery-acid tone which is certainly not helpful to those who are my fellow members in Christ. And of course mean that to any fellow disciple, Catholic or not.

But the Church does not have to "change." It's the faithless who have "changed." They have abandoned the very clear and explicit (and changeless) doctrines of the Church.

Faithless "Catholics" need nothing other than repentance and fidelity. The Catholic Church needs only to be Catholic.

They lack the leadership that is required to lead. Instead the leaders have become the mirror of the parish. It is the flock that rules the church not the other way around.

If the Pope would say these people need to repent or out they go you would see some changes.

But instead they are giving the O a degree.

It is a slap in the face to the pro-life movement. And I can understand why many are leaving the church.

The people cry out for leadership and without any in the church they will turn to the One.
