Dark Age?

Sometimes it seems like we have entered a new dark age in the Church... Like no one knows the basic story. Everyone trying to put a stamp on the story, but the stamps are all idiosyncratic.

It's not that I think the Church is gone or anything. The sacraments are still being celebrated. There is still a priesthood and apostolic ministry. That's not what I'm talking about. But maybe we are in another situation like those times in history when priests were undereducated and the Church is benighted. God is working in the Church, yes, but in SPITE of us.

I guess that's the way it always is, isn't it? It just seems especially to be the case now.

Still, our God is the God who brings the dead to life.
