The only thing which saved the church from those sorry popes was the Protestant Reformation which broke the political power of the church enough to force it to concentrate on the restoration of spiritual and moral authority.
Fortunately, it was able to muster its forces to defeat the Muslim navies at Lepanto and invading armies at the gates of Vienna when the world of Islam took disunity in the Christian world as a weakness they could exploit.
Sadly, most of the traditionalist Cardinals are staying silent in the face of this evil onslaught. Whether it is cowardice or blind adherence to the desire to be meek and prayerful, their silence is allowing this gang of perverted thugs to run roughshod over 2000 years of Church teaching.

They are doing it again.
Worst possible time to have an apostate Pope.
I’m not fan of Francis but the Reformation was the worst thing to happen to Christianity since Christ walked the earth. The Catholic Church has been around for 2,000 years and has had bad popes before. Christ said he would never abandon the church and He never will.
