external adaptation of the Church's laws and institutions to the times.

I'm not a Catholic, so maybe I shouldn't comment here (if so: sorry).

It seems to me that most Christian churches have done this, and IMO it is a serious mistake. You can't move away from scripture and start behaving in ways that will make you "popular" with a trendy secular society. Just to pick one issue: homosexuality is a sin. Full stop. Deciding to adapt and make peace with homosexuals, and tolerate their sin, is a huge mistake.

Again, my comment is not specifically addressing the Catholic Church. I have been associated with a number of Protestant churches who thought active homosexuals made perfectly fine Christians. They don't.
