"The Church's one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord
She is his new creation
By water and the Word;
From heav'n he came and sought her,
To be His holy bride;
With his own blood he bought her,
and for her life He died."
-"The Church's One Foundation" -a Catholic/Christian hymn

Therefore, the Church's Foundation never needed to be restored, because HE is risen! The author does bring up some great points however.

The second was their call for a vigorous reaffirmation of Catholic orthodoxy, especially regarding sexual morality, as the long-term solution to sexual misconduct by priests.

Leviticus 18:22 'You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

I Corinthians 1 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

Well seminary professors and students... any questions?

What BS!! It is like calling for a ban on double parking and then claiming it to be a fix for something else. Sex with kids is not the problem, it is a symptom. not the cause. The cause is fairy priests. They gravitate to boys because they are so easy for a priest. Until the church afmits the problem is fairies in frocks and moves to correct that problem, this is perfectly clintonian. They have simply diverted attention using smoke and mirrors and claimed victory. BS!!

Bump from an antitrinitarian heretic. Now is not the time to be counting. Inspiring to seek rank and file Catholics taking back their Church.

IMHO

The Catholic hierarchy is no different from American politicians .
They both grave power and prestige that's why they are in the professions they are

The American politicians take an oath to defend the constitution a document they could care less about and an oath that means nothing to them

In a similar fashion I doubt the bishops and cardinals really believe the basic tenets of their religion and have branched off into socialistic concerns
I doubt most believe in the reality of the eucharist , confirmation, immaculate conception etc etc
I am not commmenting on whether these beliefs are true or not but they are part of their religion and I doubt they believe them
