The Catholic Church would be in the same position as the Episcopal Church if it (we) didn't have a structure and hierarchy to guard against the evil and stupidity of men. Thank God for "papal infallibility", which does not mean popes are perfect; it means that even if a pope be a scoundrel, God will guard the core beliefs of the Church.
We Catholics are just as sinful and dopey as Episcopalians, and there but for the grace of God go we.

Amen, and for some reason we continue to vote for RATS in large numbers. God, I hope we wake up soon.

. . .well there is plenty of that in the Church; which is to my point on the commonality of the 'Liberal disease' that has corrupted so much.
In addition to the Pope, Catholics have a 'devotion/practice to the Mass' without any over-attachments to 'personalities'.
Episcopalians copy/share much of the Catholic; but they could not duplicate that.
So, whereas priests may fail; or just come and go. . .the Mass itself, remains. . .and those that share in it.

The trouble is the hundreds of millions of YOUR dollars the corrupt and perverted old men running the RCC in the US are using to pay off the perverts and pederasts that have raped & pillaged & plundered the innocence of children all across the country.
