To: Tell It Right
As history shows, you will be proved wrong just as countless others who have pronounced the death of the Church. Pope Francis is just one man; he can do his worst but when he is gone, the Church will still be here, sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker, until the Second Coming. Thus has it been for 2000 years.

“A Pharisee in the council named Gamali-el, a teacher of the law, held in honor by all the people, stood up and ordered the men to be put outside for a while. 35And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you do with these men. 36For before these days Theudas arose, giving himself out to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him; but he was slain and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37After him Judas the Galilean arose in the days of the census and drew away some of the people after him; he also perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this undertaking is of men, it will fail; 39but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!" (Acts 5:34-39)

I didn’t say the Catholic church will be forever thrown into the crapper. I said the current leader of Catholics is far and away removed from standing up to Christian persecution. The original post is about being more Catholic to stand up to persecution. And I’m saying someone should tell that to Top Catholic.
