    Catholics in USA and euro countries really depend on Africa and India. We get lots of visiting priests from Africa and India. They all have been outstanding, highly educated, socially adept and super popular with all ages. Why can’t Americans do this?

      A bigger problem the Church faces today is that it is losing a lot of nuns and priests, both young and old, to COVID-19. This is particularly so in developing countries, such as Asia and Africa, where the Church is working on the frontlines. They are the ones who need our prayers.
      In India, I have read of at least three priests, ordained in the last 10 years, who lost their lives to the virus in the last 90 days.

      @Nica I think this is probably true.
      However, they will swallow their racist prejudices if a future black Pope were to cease mentioning the poor, immigrants, the environment and the evils of uncontrolled Capitalism, and all those other things which challenge them and their way of life.
      But if he limits himself to the usual teachings which they agree with: abortion, contraception, no commuion for the divorced and civilly remarried, the evils of Communism and so on, then a future Francis II, Benedict XVII, John Paul III or Gregory VII should have a fairly peaceful pontificate.
      Some agree with the Successor of Peter only if the Successor of Peter happens to agree with their politics and economics.

      Where in the Bible is this new individualistic version of Christianity ? In Matthew 18:15-18 it is written "If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to *the church;* and if they refuse to listen *even to the church,* treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector." 18 “Truly I tell you, *whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."*
      Notice that Jesus said to “tell it *to THE* church” and not “tell it to -your- church.” which implies that believers were to be *united* organizationally as well as doctrinally. I think it is likely that in this context the term "to bind and loose" was certainly referring to an excommunication ( cutt off from the community ).
