The Church here in the US has gone soft and weak with only a few notable exceptions. There is no guarantee that the Church will survive in this nation, just as it did not survive in ancient Ephesus. However, even with this disaster of a Pope we currently have, the Church will go on and emerge stronger. It is been thus for more than 2000 years.
