Faith in what?
.
Do you believe the One Holy Roman Catholic Church, the Vicar of Christ and the Bishops in Communion with him?
.
Or do you believe popular culture which governs public opinion effecting changes in civil law and traditional morality? Or, if you are trying to be a faithful Catholic, do you believe a schismatic bishop who claims to speak for the CDF? Or a priest who has left ministry? Or the bloggers and journalists who claim sitting bishops are liars and Marxists, and that they throw unwitting priests under buses? Or do you believe dissenting Catholics who form their own 'worship' communities and new age retreat centers and tell you every one is wrong - except the gays? Or do you believe spurious mystics who claim the Virgin has been telling them secrets for 30 years - but they can't reveal them? Who do you believe?
.
So, who do you believe?

Bishop Fellay of the SSPX claims: "These are the words from the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith: “But you know, it’s the priests, it’s the bishops, it’s the Catholic universities: they are full of heresies!” That’s what the the Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith told us in June 2009! So they know that the situation in the Church is dramatic. If they are able to say that it is full of heresies everywhere, it really means something! At the same time, they act as if everything is fine. It is disappointing and confusing, my dear Brethren, but that’s the situation." - Source

Thirty years and still going strong: "Since the beginning of the apparitions, over 40 million pilgrims have come to the small, hilly village to pray, fast, repent, and get a glimpse of the visionaries. Some have documented “miracles” such as rosary turning to gold, supernatural sightings, the dancing sun and healings. If this is a hoax, six individuals have given 30 years of their life to maintaining the charade. Each of them has continued on with their lives; marrying, having children, working. None of the visionaries took a vocation in the Catholic church. They all chose secular lives." - Source

Fr. Corapi: "The leadership of the Church has made it clear to me they don’t want me anymore. They have a right to do that and I have to accept that. So, I’ll do what I can outside of the Church. I’m not leaving the Church. I am simply doing something else in life so that I won’t wither up and die, and so that you can still derive some benefit from my gifts from God." - Source

But what have your bishops and cardinals in communion with the Pope told you? What does the Catechism teach? What do the various Vatican dicasteries tell you in the Pope's name?
.
One, Holy, Roman Catholic Church - Jesus Christ.
.
Let the dead bury their dead... follow Jesus Christ.
