To: ebb tide

Relax. It was much worse... in every generation. Just read one encyclical from each of the last five centuries and learned how the Church situation has always been dire, rough, and on edge. Pope Francis? Goofball. Gay Cardinals? Going to hell. FSSP and Christ the King seminaries? Will fix most things.

If a person starts wringing his hands over the state of the Church, then he needs a vacation.

Nothing has been fixed in the Catholic church for over 1,000 years.

One thousand years ago, they were wrestling with the same issues of immorality and corruption as the Roman Catholic church today does.

Sure, keep your hopes up. The *fix* is just around the corner, as it has been for 1,000 years already.

Doesn't seem like it's going to happen in your lifetime either.

The few men who speak out, like Msgr Pope, get reigned in pretty quickly.

So who's going to *fix* it? Cause it sure isn't those at the top. They just watch each other's backs.
