"Fine with that. Change the rules.  Till then..."  Yeah, well good luck with changing any laws in the Church.  This is a church that says one thing, but practices something else altogether.


For example;  The Church stated, during Vatican II, that the comments and opinions of the people matter.  It's called the "sensus fidelium"---sense of the faithful.  But what's outrageous, however, is that after 50 + years, we still have no clear and formally recognized way of gauging the 'sensus fidelium'.  The documents of Vatican II AND the Code of Canon Law 1983 refer to the need to consult the sense of the faithful.  Yet we STILL have no structure for getting a reading of the "public opinion' of the Church!


The Church can't change anything if it doesn't know what the people think about the laws nor implement the means to 'get their opinion.'  What does it even mean to speak of a 'sensus fidelium' if no one can ever find out what it is?
