Why are true Catholics not starting their own church? This baffles me why they tolerate all this garbage?

Catholics should not and need not start a new church.The Church has authentic teachings,
apostolic succession and valid Sacraments. It has, and will, survive bad popes.

Catholics are Catholics and not Protestants because we believe that Jesus founded his church as a visible entity existing throughout history, and we don’t get to start a new one on our own authority. God is still in charge.

“Why are true Catholics not starting their own church?”

Because there is no salvation outside the one true Church. Peter doesn’t hand out the Keys to the Kingdom to just any ol’ church.

“This baffles me why they tolerate all this garbage?”

Because a bad Pope happens now and then. In the grand scheme of things he’s a tiny blip. There have been some terrible Popes that make this one look like a little punk. This too shall pass.

The Roman Catholic Church has had a few appallingly bad Popes, and it’s still alive. We’ll survive Francis and his bad practices.
