I don’t understand it just as I don’t understand most evil in the world. I haven’t understood the Catholic Church for decades and with the rate members are leaving, there is lots of not understanding them. In no way do I understand the false pope.
Here’s all anyone needs to understand
The enemy will attack with intent to destroy anything that is good
There are good and intelligent priests out there. When we ask to find them we will be led to them
The Church was founded by Jesus. He said he would protect it
The Church is run by humans. Imperfect and tempt-able.
These people have not in any way destroyed the Church. The Church is an institution which cannot be changed by people and which does not depend in numbers of members nor any other type of democratic or mob thinking.
The Church will stand no matter if everyone has a foot stompy tantrum demanding that it change, no matter how many of its members pretend they are no longer Catholic
Once someone is baptised Catholic they are judged as Catholic. That means on judgement day
Priests are judged more harshly, we are taught, as they have more power to bring people to Jesus or drive them away
while Protestant groups mainly remained silent, the Catholic church fought abortion...they fought against homosexuality...they fought against gays adopting...they fought against divorce...
they have lost their battle...
at least they tried, which is more than I can say for the Lutherans/Methodists/Presbyterians/etc....
Where is Pope Benedict?? How can we get him out of captivity??
