Whatever, with its current track that religion is on its way to being mortally wounded outside of the sole areas it is increasing membership -- the extraordinarily poor and under-informed of the world.
I'll go ahead and assume that you aren't suggesting only poor people and idiots become Catholics. Despite the lot of beef I have against the way Benedict has been directing the Vatican since his election, there are those of us who do choose to become or stay Catholic despite the many rather un-Christian choices of the clergy, beyond the simple inheritance from our parents or being forced into it, believe it or not. I sure hope the we aren't judged by the way many members of the clergy act.

We're defined by our faith and actions, not by our priests.
