As God sees it, of course.
"The teaching of the Faith which God has revealed has not been proposed as a philosophical discovery to be perfected by human ingenuity, but as a divine Deposit handed over to the Spouse of Christ to be guarded faithfully and to be explained infallibly. Hence that meaning of the sacred dogmas must perpetually be retained which Holy Mother Church once has declared; nor is that meaning ever to be abandoned under the pretext and name of a more profound comprehension." Pope Pius IX
That is important because the real danger for us is that some might the depart from the safety of the Church and go apostate if their personal vision of the Church doesn’t match with what some humans in the Church are doing/saying.
The responsibility for such departures lies with those in positions of power who confuse and scandalize the faithful. The ill effects of such scandal are compounded by others who quietly go along with the corruption rather than denounce it, perhaps falsely equating silence in the face of evil with holiness.
May the Lord NEVER find us guilty of contributing to the divisiveness.
May the Lord NEVER find us guilty of betraying Him by our silence in the face of attacks on His Church from within or without.

May God grant us the grace and humility to know the difference. I believe that He calls us to silence far more than to speaking out. HE was our primary model for that as well. ;-)

Not so. We ALL have responsibility.
