From my own personal experience in the RCC, which you have no knowledge of either, the Holy Spirit often has little to do with the political and financial decision making of the organizational hierarchy. I know what I speak of being there. I know what I’ve seen and heard and experienced and learned what I know from the priests who were close family friends and leaders of congregations. If you want to romanticize and idealize how RCC church decisions are made, well that might work for you. Don’t rip on others who see these things going on they believe are unbiblical, and decide to separate themselves from it.

Your condescending attitude towards other Christians not in your denomination is also unhelpful, unflattering and based on the RCC’s own track record, hardly defendable or deserved.

It is not condescension, it is intolerance. I see this as far more simple than the picture you are trying to paint. You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Abandoning the Church and participating in the attack on the Church with the left makes one no more than a useful idiot of the left and the godless.

You may consider me intolerant but tolerance is not a Christian virtue. Neither is cowardice. Charity, justice, mercy, prudence, honesty -- these are Christian virtues.
