Jesus used a rock to found a church that would last until His return. He did not start a polling company that blows with the winds of change.
And the gates of hell will not prevail against it...
And yet the church is made of men and men are fallible. The Pope spoke out against the war with Iraq and Catholics ignored him when his position differed from their own. He spoke out against capitol punishment and Catholics ignored him, choosing their own wisdom over that of the church he represents. But Catholics carry the Church and the Pope like a banner before them on matters where they agree.
I can not imagine Jesus, as head of the church, tolerating and covering up sexual abusing priests for even an instant.
Jesus confounded the religious leaders of His day and I have no doubt that when He returns, our religious leaders will oppose Him, focusing again on the letter of the Law at the expense of love.
