All the more are we called to pray, no? If the faithful aren't praying, then, yes, corruption grows. With prayer, room for the Holy Spirit to act grows. Without prayer and acquiescence to despair or cynicism, then the enemy wins.
I can’t argue with what you say about prayer, but I refuse to give credibility to bishops who are betraying the Church. Yes, we should pray, but we should also seek the Truth.
I take every chance I can to show the extreme degree of betrayal by our bishops. Every time I do, I get accusations that I’m not a Catholic, or worse. Never once has anyone in this group rebutted the facts of my assertions. See my post on Cardinal George on this page. If you pass this off as “imperfection” you better double your prayer time.
Oh, and by the way. I’m sure you would agree that the Mass is the perfect prayer. Follow my link to Father Pfleger’s sacrilegious Eucharistic Prayer, and then come back and lecture me about prayer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjMWbQ7UXOE
