The Catholic Church has not made a left turn any more than our Constitution has and for the same reason. It is an institution Men (people) run it, and they, being human, have flaws, sometimes worse than other times, but they do not change the institution itself, regardless of appearances, and what the mob wants the casual observer to believe
Just so. The Church is the “one, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church” that was founded by Christ and has continued for almost 2000 years. I’m not about to abandon it, and the Sacraments that Jesus gave to us, just because Pope Francis appears to be a jerk.
Protestants and people of good will should hope and pray that the leadership of the Church will reform itself, as it has after similar bad times in the past. Just as I hope and pray that the various Protestant churches will reform themselves, and that their members, if they are not ready to be Catholics, at least will be good Christians. Our country and our world will both be better places when things get better in its churches.
It makes no more sense for Protestants and disbelievers to wish evil on the Catholic Church than it would for Catholics to wish evil on them.
I grew up as an Episcopalian before I became Catholic, and it certainly gives me no pleasure to see all the problems that have befallen that church.
