text: It wouldn't surprise me if the Roman Curia was actually secretly cheering on the exodus of young (and not so young) Catholics from the U.S. Church.
  After all, the Church in developing countries is growing, full of Catholics who are FTTM (Faithful to the Magisterium), revere priests, and hang off every nonsensical utterance emanating from the Curia.
  No, thinks the Curia, we can do without these reforming voices from the English-speaking world; glad to be rid of them! Can't wait until we can reduce the whole of the U.S. to just one diocese (with Raymond Burke as its head).
