And you have Francis for your pope.
How are you better off?
No, we Catholics are worse off, because we have received more means of sanctification and the fullness of the truth and we have rebelled against this, in particular a good example is on sexual morality, e.g. Humanae Vitae, which the great majority of Catholics (and just about all protestants) have rejected so as to not “deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me” (Lk 9:23).
“But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Lk 12:48).
I do not think it was by chance that God revealed to Saint Francis of Assisi the future false pope who has stolen the good name of this saint so as to pervert ecumenism and use falsely environmental issues:
“The power of the demons will be greater than usual, the immaculate purity of our religious community and of others, will wither to the point that very few Christians will want to obey the true Sovereign Pontiff and the Roman Church with a sincere heart and perfect charity. At the decisive moment of this crisis, a personage not canonically elected, raised to the Pontificate, will endeavor to administer shrewdly to many the mortal poison of his error. ... Some preachers will keep silent about the truth and, denying the truth, they will trample upon the truth. The sanctity of life will be held in derision by those who only profess it outwardly, and for this reason Our Lord Jesus Christ will send them not a worthy Pastor, but a destroyer” (http://spir-food.blogspot.it/2013/11/prophecy-st-francis.html).
