text: It's too bad that the majority of our bishops seem to be working out of a sense of careerism rather than servant-leadership.  It is natural, then, that the careerist will do all in his power to protect the kingdom he has struggled so hard to build up.  We all know that this has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus or the gospel or the Reign of God, but they don't know that (or maybe they do and have just sold out).  The Catholic Church as an institution led by careerists is dying a slow death.  It is too bad, no, it is tragic, that the faithful priests of Ireland and elsewhere are the martyrs who must endure the corruption of a system that is crumbling before our very eyes.  The good news, however, is that there are Catholic and ecumenical groups sprouting up everywhere that are worshiping in inclusive communities, working for justice, and participating in all types of important ministries.  And don't be surprised ... I believe that Pope Francis has a number of tricks up his sleeve!
