Weimar Republic II - Life's a cabaret in the modern Church

"Life is a cabaret old chum....."

I'm sorry to bang on about the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate but, like many others who have been around the block long enough to recall what Catholic life was like in the 70s and 80s, I am nauseated to see it all taking place once more (my thanks to Genty who left a comment along those lines).

I have lost count of the number of good priests I have seen hounded out of the priesthood because of their orthodox stance. I am sure many good nuns joined their ranks also.

The HR department of Social Services and the Probation Service owe a great debt to Vatican II and all that has happened since, as so many priests have taken up posts in those areas.

Fr Ray Blake carries a post that epitomises the wholesale abuses that are, apparently ignored by Rome, while the good Friars are hung out to dry for offering the Mass of all Time.

It reminded me of the Weimar Republic (not that I remember it you understand?). A period of degeneracy and over indulgence when the lines of morality and decency were scuffed out in favour of debauchery and behaviour more fitting of over sexed ferrets.
