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
So exactly where is this institution that doesn’t include people located and how does it function without people?
