"He hasn;t abandoned His Church to heretical Popes. If you think that has happened"

The tactic of restating a person's position as a ridiculous extreme is one often used by liberals.

I never said anything about God "abandoning" His Church, or about any pope being heretical.

However, it is plain, historical fact that God has in the past allowed bad men to become bishops, and, arguably, popes.

Still trying to figure out what is at the root of your far-too-emotional refusal to face that fact.

Hatred of schism... Nothing more Traditional than that.

Try reading the Early Church Fathers on schism some time. They'll either make you ears blister and encourage you to grow a set or they will make you take the position they are irrationally emotional and, presumably suspect.

Either way, it is your will and you have liberty to either set it with or against the Church Jesus established.
