All thinking Catholics will have to flee the church at some point soon.
This is the worst Pope in many centuries. But he will be dead soon. He isn’t going to drive me out of the Church. He has gone from stupid to blasphemous.
I appreciate where are coming from. It’s a common reaction for protestants. I’ve been one. I get it.
But, Catholics are not protestants. We have suffered bad popes before, and we are collectively full of sinners all, but the Church is the Precious Body of Christ on earth and we are on a complicated pilgrimage struggling up the rocky road to the Cross, the same as our Christ Jesus.
In human terms, the Church faithful are not meant for escape from the same mockery He suffered, nor His pains, and certainly deserve no more comfort than He, neither emotional, physical, nor intellectual satisfaction on such a miserable journey.
As Peter said, “ Where, Lord, would we go?”.
