I can feel the immense frustration in what you write, Common Catholic, and I well understand your position having felt the same myself at times.  Yet, I have a greater faith in what is happening now than perhaps most who post here, as I see signs of progress, and/or hope, on all levels and with the issues you mention.  The bishops gathered at the Vatican for this event are ALL appointments of Pope Francis, chosen for their pastoral qualities.  How wonderful that he can speak this way with his brethren and know his words are not just accepted, but deeply felt as well.  We will never be free of sin and problems as we are a fully human institution, but if one looks at the efforts made, and the incredible commitments of so many (lay, religious and cleric alike), we can easily see that we continue to stumble and uphold one another on our road to meeting Christ Jesus at the end.  To paraphrase St. John Paul II:  Do Not Be Discouraged.  Blessings to you.
