Actually the Bible Belt can collapse as certainly as the faith in N. Africa which was once vibrant and full BUT did collapse. So biblically speaking you are a far ways out of bounds. No one place is secured against collapse, but Christianity itself through Jesus's promise:

Mt 16:18
18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

Guarantees that the faith itself will not collapse, but does not guarantee any geographic area from collapse.

You quote a politically charged verse to support Peter and the Catholic Church.

The Church of Christ is so much bigger than just the Catholic Church. But we true believers are all a part of it.

So please stop fighting amongst yourselves over denominational matters.

Is it not about the Lord?
