incorrect -- orthodoxy, which is a way of belief and life is immutable, unchanging. That is why the process of the Mass is the same as described in the Didache.
The reason for the Church's vilification at various points is precisely this immutable nature. That is why the Church is called liberals in the 1890s and conservative a few decades later. That is why she is attacked by the purely script-based calvinists and the purely emotional b-aers.
The immutable nature is visible in the way we don't put things up to vote as the PCUSA did for example.
Sure, there are bad eggs, even evil ones, but the family that is The Church is bigger than that precisely because we have as our Head Priest Jesus Christ who protects it through the ages.

So are you saying that Simony is still freely practiced and encouraged within Rome? Or are you completely ignoring the 800# gorilla of Luther's Ninety-Five Theses?

The PCUSA is Apostate and its clergy is Reprobate, everyone knows that.

Funny, since Protestants say the exact thing, but I would bet that we mean different things. For example, when you say "The Church" you are referring to that man-made government centered in Rome whereas when the Bible speaks of "The Church" the idea is all the Saints who make up the Corpus Christi, regardless of Rome's demand that their petty religious architecture is properly venerated and given credit.
Which shows the superiority of the Original system where there were loose Congregations spread around the world united in their Faith rather than united in fear of a religious government wielding the torch and iron maiden to "enforce" properly fealty to Rome. So when Reprobates and Perverts take over the man-made system known as PC-USA, the true church made up of the Elect will be moved by the Spirit to leave that house of Ichabod and find a new pastor. When your pedophiles and perverts do what Reprobates do, Rome circles the wagons and fights off the civil lawsuits - typical of what human government would and should do.
