Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops and your religious act like religious.—Archbishop Fulton Sheen.Let’s dissect the quote above a bit.Firstly, Bishop Sheen was wrong to insist any man on earth will “save” Christ’s Church. He was wrong since only Christ will save His Church from the current madness. Now, of course, I’m the last priest on earth to say this will be done in some magical way without cooperation of real people on earth. Obviously, what Our Lady of Good Success predicted, namely, the complete restoration of the Catholic Church, will require a tremendous amount of cooperation with grace to get us out of this mess.
