The Church functions as Christ instituted through Bishops, successors to the Apostles, with the Pope possessing the primacy and infallibility in dogma and defined doctrine.
The crisis in Christ’s Church is due to the modernist errors abroad before Vatican II, whose promoters tried to take over the Council, and are referred to in *Christ Denied *TAN, 1982, by Fr Paul Wickens).
Before Vatican II, by May of 1964, the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) had approved the sex education program put forward by 2 Swedish delegates, and the whole sordid conglomerate is exposed in Claire Chambers The SIECUS Circle, 1977. The power structure exerts pressure on local schools and the gullible public for its school sex education program. The network promotes population control, legalised abortion, homosexuality, pornography, sensitivity training and drugs. (p xv). We surely know how dissenters have spread these into the People of God.
The '60’s saw the rise of anarchy in the USA, flower power etc., with much that was good in society decried and destroyed with nothing worthy to replace it. The new religion of the so-called Enlightenment was welcomed by selfists.
The degradation of sacred order, at the invitation of nuns, occurred from 1967 in the USA through humanistic psychologists especially Carl Rogers, and I have heard one of his lieutenants, Dr J W Coulson in person, apologising for the grave harm caused. [See *The Emperor’s New Clothes by William Kirk Kilpatrick, 1985, p 149-150]. The destruction of whole Catholic school systems and religious orders occurred.
Then followed the disgraceful public dissent against *Humanae Vitae *by Karl Rahner and numerous dissenting theologians, Richard McBrien’s Catholicism (full of errors), the revolt of the Catholic universities and the bureaucratic/theological tail wagging the episcopal dog so to speak – coupled with lax or dissenting bishops this resulted in a grave crisis, which is worldwide with relativism, selfism and secularism. The seminaries were filled with dissenting formators.
In The Courage To Be Catholic, Basic Books 2002, p 50-1, theologian George Weigel saw the key to transforming the crisis (of abuse by priests) as faithful leadership. Within his four chapters on Reform which focused on Seminaries and Novitiates, The Priesthood, The Bishops and also their relations with The Vatican, he called for replacing “malfeasant, incompetent, or unorthodox bishops.”
There is no question that the fidelity of, and sound action by, bishops is the key to sound teaching in seminaries, in homilies, in schools and universities. The Popes regularly call for this, but Paul VI allowed a real problem to develop in the U.S.A. It seems that more careful screening of bishops is required. The results are evident where there are renewed seminaries
