We have nineteen new cardinals. Only eight are European. As lay people, it is our duty to pray for the princes of the Church. If we do not have the leaders we want, we get the leaders we deserve. That there is a leadership crisis in the Church is painfully obvious. But, whose fault is this?
Parents no longer have a domestic church in the home. Parents do not say the daily rosary with their children.
Parents do not encourage their sons to go into the priesthood or their daughters to become nuns.
The laity have only themselves to blame.
Pray and stop complaining. Your prayers may make a saint out of a cardinal.
