Well, a lot of $$$ is on the line in the form of properties and materials. They remain internal for the sake of these things. We are so drawn by what equates to smells and bells, but these are the things that are doing us in in the end. Because, we are better off in the parking lot.
That's the problem. It political anymore. Who's right, who's wrong. Money, power, comfort, control. Not all, but many priests and bishops are guilty. The laity are merely collateral.
