Could you please tell us where we can go to get information to prove to others that Pope Benedict, (WHEN HE WAS CARDINAL RATZINGER) is innocent of covering up the sex abuse by clergy. I have read about what he has done for abuse victims since his pontificate, however, I have not read anything aboutt what he did as Cardinal Ratzinger to remove those who were accused of abuse.

@norahs52 People are innocent until proven guilty - it is impossible to prove he is NOT guilty except by there being no evidence to suggest he is guilty. However, actually looking at the documents he wrote and the guidelines he put in place as head of CDF should answer your query.

@RealCatholicTV first of all, I really love what you are doing. As a constructive comment, you said "we agree completely with Vatican II" but let me tell you from today's episode it's not clear at all.

[RealCatholicTV]

@maurodalu How can it not be clear? Where do we say "we do not agree with Vatican II"? We don't. We say we do not agree with the "spirit of Vatican II" and then define what that is, very clearly saying it is a liberal misreading of the council.

I don't know what videos you are watching.

What is our duty? I agree with the bulk of this message, but what are the faithful supposed to be doing as "a duty"?

[RealCatholicTV]

@EvodiusTheophile Get yourself to Heaven :)

[RealCatholicTV]

@WinstonChurchill We agree completely with Vatican II. We do not agree with those people who talk about "the spirit of Vatican II" and mean a load of tosh which Vatican II does not say. Vatican II is an eccumenical council of the Church and to not accept it or agree with it is schism or heresy.

I am a baby boomer also, and you are so right ! I have been fortunate the churches I have belonged to in the last 30 yrs have had good Priest, but I have visited so parishes on and off , and felt embarrassed within for the lack of reverence and behavior in the presence of the Lord physically present, no wonder some broke away if they grew up where there was no real root in the true church teaching, I'm a woman and when I hear anyone in favor of woman priest,I say NO ,it is wrong and Not happen.

A Catholic psychiatrist said that when people tamper and change the liturgy (for the worse), its really a form of narcicsism.

The great question is, will the Western Civilization recover from the damage the "Baby Boomers" have rot on this world? Given the particular fact of "population control," I have to wonder if we can recover in time to prevent the crisis of social collapse. I fear we have already committed social suicide. I only hope that those who recover the husks of culture can be taught to value is better aspects as the Medieval Barbarians learned to value the Greco-roman.

I hope this is true! First as a Protestant and then as a Catholic we have been part of large home school groups and those kids (most from families with seven kids or more) know their faith, understand politics, and aren't afraid to stand up for what's right. They will be a force to be reckoned with, "arrows in the hands of a warrior" as the Psalm says. (As young people "meek" is not a word I would use to describe them :D, but time will likely cure them of that.)

@rjpancerniCAUSA

There is something to this argument, I think, because the WWII generation enjoyed their prosperity and the GI bill and their birth control, and sat back and did not spend the time with their two or three kids that their Depression-era parents did with their nine or ten. There is the nostalgia of kids playing in neighborhoods with no adult supervision (i.e., Leave it to Beaver) but those kids grew up and kept on playing by their own rules. Some still are.

I served as a "helper" in my parish's RCIA class. In discussing with other helpers why people leave the Church in great numbers I said, "the reason is obvious, if you don't tell people that they need to be Catholic and the reason why, they will stop being Catholic, especially when everyone else, from secularists to fundamentalists evangelicals tell people that they must NOT be Catholic along with their own reasons why."
