Inside or outside church structures, Catholics engage change --at “The Catholic Church in America: 2006” Conference -Cardinal McCarrick, keynote speaker at The Catholic University conference actually "called it like it is". This was awesome!
“We became a contraceptive society,” fearful of commitment, said McCarrick. Sex became just another commodity, Sunday Mass an option, Catholic education no longer worth the sacrifice, religious education a place where children “learned how to sing songs” rather than the meaning of the sacraments. The Second Vatican Council (1962-65) was misinterpreted by those who said that “we must open up to everything.” One result of the tumult: The church was ill-prepared to deal with sex abuse issues when they arose publicly in the late 1980s, said McCarrick.
