Perhaps these issues have been expressed 'ad naseum'---but the people who should be listening to the sense of the faithful---a.k.a.[American Bishops] are not listening.  

So either this will continue, or more American Catholics will be leaving.  "The universal body of the faithful who have received the anointing of the holy one [1 Jn 2:20 and 27], cannot be mistaken in belief.  It displays this particular quality through a supernatural sense of the faith in the whole people when 'from the bishops to the last of the faithful laity,' it expresses the CONSENT of ALL [caps. mine] in the matters of faith and morals.  [Lumen gentium 12].
