let's hope this is darkest before the dawn.

The cardinal is talking about a protestant "Catholic" Church, I'm sure he can't wait for it.

Here it comes . . . the Church "void of sacraments", as our wonderful Bishop Sheen prophesied. I know of a family who doesn't go to Church anymore. They stay home and bless their own bread. They were asked why and they explained it was what the Church was going to turn into, anyway. Stay confessed and be ready for just about anything.

If clerics don’t rule, there will be no more clerics. He’s essentially talking about suppressing the munus regendi.
