The Catholic Church is in what appears to be a death spiral. Rome has caused confusion and promoted heresy, the bishops seem clueless about how to guide the Church back on course, the laity appear completely ignorant of the Church's teachings, and they are leaving in record numbers. The Catholic Church is hemorrhaging both members and dollars.
Sandwiched in between all these problems is the poor parish priest.
Priests are demoralized, and many have been rendered ineffectual and immobile from scandal and confusion created by the hierarchy. They are demoralized by the lack of support from the Vatican, and often outright criticized for being faithful to their vows and the faith. Priests are demoralized by ever increasing demands from their bishops and a dearth in priestly vocations. They are demoralized because the laity no longer see them as relevant or credible.
It's enough to make a poor priest give up in frustration and despair.
