Christianity isn’t a democracy.
No: but a tree is know by its overall fruit. In this case, it is more than just a few bad apples, but even notorious proabortion, prohomosexual Catholic public figures are manifestly considered to be members in life and in death by Rome, with ecclesiastical funerals in which it is conveyed that these souls (from Kennedy's to Chavez, etc.) will arrive in Heaven (at least eventually) due to having shares in the one true insurance company. Thus effectively telling the flock that they also have assurance of final salvation if they die as Catholics.
In reality, relatively few Catholics have truly had their "day of salvation," never having been born of the Spirit, as instead most have trusted in a false gospel.
And I speak from experience.
