Remind her that Satan will be delighted if she leaves and that she will become one more victim of these horrible abuses.

(And lose all the graces from the Sacraments.)

The Catholic church is a homosexual/pedofile cabal. It needs to continue to die until it is just a bunch of old buildings with nobody in them.

Christ told us “The gates of hell will not prevail against it.”

Yes, there is some cleaning to do, but what about families, schools, non-Catholic ministers, etc.

Is it because people think the Catholic Church has more money?

Or are they motivated by communist and leftist energies that want to destroy the Catholic Church?

The spectacle of the Church acting against her own mandate as Church, is appalling. The walls and towers of the city have apparently been taken over by traitors. It's the Enemy inside the gates.

So my plea to Catholics and all others of good will:
Grieve but don't leave.

No fear, no flight.

It's time to fight.

Good advice:

**Grieve but don’t leave.
No fear, no flight.
It’s time to fight. **

If the thing you have faith in is a rotting religion, then the devil has already won.

Leave the corrupt institution, keep your faith.

Both will be better off.

That is just what may happen but the Catholic`s will not be alone, what ever happens they will have plenty of company from their protestant daughters.

The only power you have over the Church is your money and membership. Stop giving them money until they reform or die.

The believer in Christ is sealed with the Holy Spirit and is never unsealed. The Christian loses nothing.

There is this little thing called prayer.

Christ told us “The gates of hell will not prevail against it.”

Gates are defensive, not offensive. Gates never attack anyone.

What Jesus means there is that when His body, the TRUE body of born again believers, presses forward and engages in spiritual warfare, the enemy will be defeated. They cannot stand against the offensive actions of the church waging spiritual warfare in power.

It is NOT a promise that some church would be protected for all time an eternity and therefore Catholicism will stand forever. Catholicism by its actions, has forfeited the right to call itself the body of Christ.

God has called us to holiness and the only way someone can operate in spiritual power is in holy living. Allowing sin in the camp WILL result in the loss of that power.

Catholicism is NOT prevailing against the gates of hell. For many people, too many, it has become the gates of hell.

Until and unless Catholicism cleans house dramatically and radically, and calls people to holiness and repentance, it will continue it's fall.

Jesus never spared the seven churches in Revelation which did not take care of the issues He confronted them with.

He's not going to spare Catholicism either.

Borrowing from another thread....Roman Catholicism has an opportunity every 500 years to reform and get it right. The last one was the Reformation. They did not get it right.

Now, it's the sex crisis.

Roman Catholicism needs to renounce all of the false marian dogmas, among others, and return to a saving faith in Christ and Christ alone.

And it's a real indictment of Catholicism when money talks when nothing else will.

Why belong to a religion that puts money ahead of holiness and doing what's right just because it's right?

It money is such an influencing factor, then Catholicism is into religion for all the wrong reasons.

If money talks, then that's what they worship.

Matthew 6:24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

They really became established in about 400 AD, and then in 1054 AD, The Great Schism happened.

In the 1500’s, there was the Protestant Reformation, and now about 500 years later, another major upheaval and split is looming.
