Agree, but isn’t it a little late in the day for this? Like about over half a century late?

They’ve lost me forever, would that have happened anyway? Maybe, there’s no way to tell. But absent VCII I expect not.

What’s a shame is that it was all so willful. Look what it led to - the sex abuse scandals, etc.

And now this Argentine idiot!

If you can get it back, I support you entirely. GOOD LUCK!

Thanks, but it has never left. Throughout history, at various times, there has always been a remnant Church.

It’s a shame when people leave the Church over a candal, instead of staying and defending Her. When Judas betrayed Christ, did the rest of the apostles say”Oh, well, that proves nothing he taught us is true”?

Or when Peter denied Christ three times, did the apostles pack up and leave? (Well, maybe for a bit until the Resurrection, when they began to understand his teachings better, culminating in the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.)

Were we not admonished to hold fast? I pray every day for the return of God’s prodigal children, that they come back home.
