It was headed there long before Francis — he just made it more visible

As a tendency, yes. But previous popes fought against it.

The destruction of the Boy Scouts was a dress rehearsal for the Churches.

Playing nice with these perverts doesn’t work.

The Catholic Church and the Catholic Faith ae rapidly becoming two separate things.

The current pope is more Marxist than catholic.

Think this priest’s video answers the question.

On 29 June, 1972, Pope Paul lamented,

“We believed that after the [Second Vatican] Council would come a day of sunshine in the history of the Church. But instead there has come a day of clouds and storms, and of darkness … “And how did this come about? We will confide to you the thought that maybe we ourselves admit in free discussion, that may be unfounded, and that is that there has been a power, an adversary power. Let us call him by his name: the Devil. … It is as if from some mysterious crack, no, it is not mysterious, from some crack the smoke of Satan has entered the Temple of God.”

Today “From some crack the smoke of Satan” reads as prophesy.

Nope. Disguising himself as an agent of light. Just like the devil and his demons.

Actually, this pope is VERY Catholic. It’s a church of abortion and sodomy.

Nah, he’s TRIED to, but he can’t hijack it.

When he’s gone, and he will be gone, the Church, the bride of Christ remains.

This flawed papacy (I’m being generous) just shows us WHY the Church remains the bride of Christ - and the reason is NOT human. There are lots of flawed humans even bishops, and they try their damndest to destroy the Church, but they fail.

they fail because the High priest, Jesus Christ is there at each Eucharist and looks after His bride, His church.

There is no earthly reason for the church to survive, but three is an heavenly reason

NAh, the church of abortion and sodomy is any pick of the various groups called “Protestant”.
