And here we are 1,000 years later and what has changed in Catholicism?

The Church has been through many cycles that go roughly like this: --> repentance --> faith --> holiness --> growth --> pride --> corruption --> justice --> downfall --> repentance --> etc.

Attentive students of the Bible such as yourself will detect a familiar pattern here.

Blessed be God, Who in his incomprehensible mercy towards sinners, rescues His Church, which is saved, but (Paul's words) "only as through fire."

The New Pope will have this Saint pulled from the ranks of sainthood. How dare he say Gay is Satanic! This mans hate speech must be banned—gay is now a must for all priests in the Roman Church—or so it seems. Looks like they need a Reformation.
