text: I don't know if it will be an end game scenario.  It may be that Catholicism evolves into something less mega corporate and centralized.  Nothing inherently wrong with that.  It forces an organization to get real with what is essential and to promote and protect those essentials.  In Catholicism one of the major questions which has to be answered is what is more essential in regards to the Mass---the person who presides at Mass, or the actual availability of Mass for Catholics.  The answer will result in very different solutions.
