I think the church would go a long way to solving their problems if they would allow priests to marry, and for that matter female priests.

As for confession, many Catholics find a lot of comfort in it. I have no particular problem with the idea, though I certainly don't believe it. Christianity is a very comforting religion for the true believer.

Infallibility strikes me as a nutty idea, but I don't think it hurts anyone. Sort of like fish on Friday, no pork, etc.

Reminds me of a joke.

Little boy goes to Sunday School and comes home and mom asks him what he learned. Boy says we learned about how moses led the Jews across the Dead sea. The jews were being chased by the Pharoh's army and he came to the Dead Sea.

What happened said Mom.

Well said the boy, "Moses has his combbat engineers build a bridge across the Dead Sea while his air force held off the pharoh's army."

Now johnny, says mom, "they didn't really tell you that".

The boy says "Well, no mom. But you would never believe what they told me."
