This brings to mind what God warned He would do.

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD God, that *I* will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD.

God also had Ezekiel write about those spiritually dead bones.

To say what I think about the present state of the church of Rome would be considered ‘judgmental’ and only some are entitled to that activity.

Yes, Rome has presumed to infallibly declare she is and will be perpetually infallible whenever she speaks in accordance with her infallibly defined (scope and subject-based) formula, which renders her declaration that she is infallible, to be infallible, as well as all else she accordingly declares.

And thus she only is the supreme judge, who cannot be judged by others.

And with that presumption, you have teaching such as that "And God himself is obliged to abide by the judgment of his priests....The sentence of the priest precedes, and God subscribes to it." – Dignity and Duties of the Priest, St. Alphonsus Ligouri (whose writings were declared free from anything meriting censure by Pope Gregory XVL (1839) in the bull of his canonization), Vol. 12, p. 2. http://www.archive.org/stream/alphonsusworks12liguuoft/alphonsusworks12liguuoft_djvu.txt

Likewise with the Eucharist, "The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows His head in humble obedience to the priest's command." (John A, O'Brien, >I>The Faith of Millions, Our Sunday Visitor (1938), p. 235; has Nihil obstat & Imprimitur)

And they wonder why we see cultic devotion to Rome, as to an idol.
