But there's this: all this crap has happened before, both in the B.C. times( Israel) and in the A.D. times (Catholic Church) and God deals with the corruption by sending prophets, to say "You are corrupt" and "You are going to get your assets kicked by the Assyrians because of this" and so forth, but in the end the faithful remnant are saved, not because they scattered (as the Evil One wants them to) but because they remained and ere faithful.
Don't scatter. That's exactly what the Adversary is planning on. Because he hates you.
Stay. Persist. Gather around the good guys. There are good parishes, there are good dioceses, support Bp.Strickland in Tyler,TX for instance if your own bishop is a wolf-in-shepherd's-clothing, remain in Christ and in the sacramental life He has given to us as our precious inheritance.
The Church is the Body of Christ, not the Body of Francis. I'm Catholic even if Francis isn't. I will not cut myself off because the severed Hand cannot heal the Body. And I double-dog-guarantee that ain't gonna chase me out because that's Hell's strategic move.
My vote:
Hell no.
Heaven yes.
“Aaaaaack! Sorry for all those typos, including whole sentences that dropped out. I composed that on my Kindle,and that’s always bad news.”
LOL! Love you. I have the same kind of Kindle problems, especially with their horrible auto-spell.
