It isn't the Church's job to micromanage every Catholic believer, parish, or diocese. It is the Bishop's role to administer their charges. And I think you are being inaccurate in your portrayal of the Church's involvement in our world today. Pope Benedict has clearly spoken out against a wide variety of injustices, not just those of America and Europe. That's what the Church does, provide light to the world, not sit by while nations violate the laws of God just because we want to keep some storybook idea of America as a pilgrim's paradise. <br /><br />I do agree that there are Catholics who need to get back to the foundations of Catholic Orthodoxy. But don't act as if there is some problem in the Church itself. It isn't the Church's role to step in and excommunicate people simply because they are advancing this or that idea. That's what separates the Catholic Church from many other Christian traditions, a willingness to include a variety of perspectives.RobLognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6226269873507053740.post-1699167219169925142011-02-08T12:08:42.128-05:002011-02-08T12:08:42.128-05:00I agree with Fr.
