Editor’s Note: The money-quote, from William Kilpatrick, as it were, is this:

Yes, God has unlimited time to fix things, but our time is short and in that short time God wants us to make the best of our time. Yes, God has the power to make all things new, but as Pope Leo XIII wrote in Sapientiae Christianae: “In His loving kindness He would assign to us a share in obtaining and applying the fruits of salvation…”

As St. Paul taught, Christ gives us a share in his work. If Paul were alive today, would he just keep quiet about the harm being done to the Church? Would Peter or John or Matthew?

I would hope the friends of Mr. Kilpatrick make known to him the Sutri Initiative, since that is exactly the kind of thing founded on the example of Saint Paul at Antioch, where he rebuked Peter to his face.
