Priests rebellious to authority and magisterium, bishops incapable to govern, cardinals opposing the Vatican . . .
Now it's undoubtedly clear that the only salvation for the Catholic Church comes from Pope Benedict XVI.
He, and only he, can repair the house.
With words like these,
The particular identity of priests and laity must be seen in the light of the essential difference between priestly ministry and the 'common priesthood.' Hence it is important to avoid the secularisation of clergy and the 'clericalisation' of the laity. In this perspective, the lay faithful must undertake to give expression in real life - also through political commitment - to the Christian view of anthropology and the social doctrine of the Church. While priests must distance themselves from politics in order to favour the unity and communion of all the faithful, thus becoming a point of reference for everyone.Hurrah!
