I can't pretend that I am at all shocked about the revelations from Pennsylvania and about Cardinal McCarrick - and not just because I have been monitoring this sort of thing for most of my adult life. It is simply the moral aspect of the illness which has overwhelmed every aspect of Church life - doctrinal, liturgical, catechetical, and cultural - over the past seven decades. These awful disclosures are forcing people to look at the mess in ways they never have before - especially when they turned a blind eye or encouraged those other aspects of the general ruin.. But it is not only evil hierarchs and clerics who are to blame; think of the laity who happily ditched fasting and abstinence, and embraced contraception! Who voted for politicians who opposed Church teaching, because they happened to be members of our own ethnic group, or promised (and sometimes even delivered on those promises) to our various communities. But God is not mocked; He still comes down on the altar daily, even through the hands of immoral priests; He still performs miracles; He still saves souls, if His children will only work with Him. Our Faith must NEVER depend upon the probity of men (not least ourselves) but on Him, His Mother, His Angels and Saints. In Heaven is our hope, on Earth is our test.
