A question that has occurred to me with the recent political debates here is that with the Church, or what is supposed to be the Church, in its present disastrous condition, as a practical matter, why do we expect politicians to be holier than the Pope (or "Pope", if you prefer) ? I know such a question can degenerate into pure relativism, but aren't we asking the lesser (political realm) to be better than the greater (Ecclesial realm)?
And the next question is exactly how do we get everything to change for the good of God. How do we get woman to respect life, again?
I personally think that laws won't have a moral effect on the situation. Too many woman are angry and feel unheard and when that is the case they do not think rationally.
Has society ever swung from a moral evil back to a moral good? If yes, does anyone have examples?
We so desperately need a moral Pope who will excommunicate people for accepting anything that is not Catholic.
