I see your bitterness, ED, RD, Life of the Lay.  This article is course written about a hard to deny academic study.  It shows that the Roman Church will either change the clerical system or more  mature and educated catholics will leave, because of  the failure to change a horrible clerical  leadership of authoritarianism.  Perhaps you are right only the very few authoritarians will be left.  The rest of us will practice in "The Way of Christ," and you can practice authoritarianism.
