Does it really though? Catholicism is not a Faith that can be practiced by the Laity independent of the priesthood (that is the Pope and Magisterium) for very long. Eventually the changes they make must be embraced by the parish priests or one wonders whether Rome is in control at all. It’s one thing for Popes and Cardinals to be degenerates (and yet not tough the doctrines of the Faith), but when they start reinterpreting dogma and doctrine (much like the SCOTUS does to the Constitution), they can slowly, inexorably create a new faith...in many cases without most people realizing it.
