Hold on now boys.....

The ‘Catholic’ Church is called that because it is the Church created by Jesus Christ. It is His Bride. He is in control of it. Men merely try their best to give Him glory in their part in it and sin gets in their heart’s way.

Man hasn’t destroyed it before and he wont here.

Faith. Trust in Jesus.

This Church isn’t a copy of the Church, and improved man’s version - it is the real deal.

Faith and morals will not be weakened.

All true. However, in these strange times, it is necessary to distinguish between the Mystical Body of Christ versus the organizational structures of the Church, which are controlled in large part by churchmen who have clearly lost the Faith (or who never had it to begin with) -- man-made structures which are no longer in service to the transmission of the Deposit of Faith. Liberals/modernists currently control the leadership and the real estate, and they are systematically perverting the purpose for which the organizational structures were established.

Faith and morals will not be weakened.

Faith and morals have already been weakened post-Vatican II via calculated "pastoral" heteropraxy promoted by partisans of error within the Church, resulting in wide-spread error and apostasy. The same tactics will be employed in October. "Pastoral" recommendations will again be the method of attack. Though there will be no "official" doctrinal changes (providing cover for the revolutionaries and consolation for those who are unable to grasp the big picture) the end result will be a further undermining of doctrine via heteropraxy.

There is much good that happens in the Church. Hopefully many will stick around to fight for what is true and good. I’ll stay until asked to leave.
