[PraiseTheLord]

The Catholic faithful will vote with their feet to the demise of the Church.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This Catholic faithful, being Catholic and faithful, has no intention of *leaving the Catholic Church* — you know, That One, founded by Jesus Christ.

Granted, Human Institutions can go astray.

But Christ’s Doctrine will not. PRAISE THE LORD +

[jonrick46]

Catholics will understand that the institution of the Church no longer preaches the gospel of Christ and will leave to form a new institution. The institution of the Church will go the way of the dinosaur giving way to a renewal in the form of a church, hopefully, in accord with Christ’s purposes.

The faithful Catholics will take their Church back.

I fall back on my intersection analogy. Imagine a small rural town with one main intersection that is marked with 4-way stop signs. The city fathers and the cops they employ are corrupt such that if you are part of the old boy network you can blow through the intersection with impunity. If you are on their bad side, or an out-of-towner passing through, you get ticketed even if you show perfect obedience to the traffic law and come to a complete stop.

Under this scenario, the "faithful" get punished; however, even though the administrators and enforcers are completely corrupt, it does not invalidate the concept of having stop signs at intersections. The principle of having stop signs at an intersection is good and beneficial, even if those to whom the actual intersection is entrusted are abusively contemptuous of it.
