I keep reading about Germany, and yes it is a mess if reports are accurate, but things in USA are not much better, seems to me. Sometimes I get the feeling Germany is cover, for the enemies of the Faith in our own backyard.

Robert Cardinal Sarah: What is happening in Germany is terrible. One gets the impression that the truths of the faith and the commandments of the Gospel are being put to the vote. By what right can we decide to renounce part of the teaching of Christ?

I am tired of this. It all goes with Rome's implicit approval.
