A close friend of mine stopped going to church b/c of the pontiff’s radical Marxism. He’s had enough of it. If the sacraments required perfect people to be effective, they wouldn't exist. I agree with your friend in sentiment but removing yourself from the life of the Church because of the apparent failings of a cleric is spiritual suicide.
The Church has survived worse.

I agree with YOU, but my friend’s response is unsurprising.

I hope you are right . What troubles me is the Pope’s embrace of Marxism . Doesn’t an embrace of Marxism put the Pope in the Heretic column?
