Luther and other reformers saw such a mob in Rome.
This is what Generalissimo Franco saved Spain from (for at least a few decades).
The Catholic Church has NEVER modifed dogma to accomodate its members or its leaders.
Luther & Co. and Henry VIII actually deleted the definition of certain sins to accomodate popular opinion or powerful individuals. Doing so was fundamental to the founding of their sects, and is now fundamental to their continued existence. Yet in the long run, there is nothing real that endures in such sects. Why worship a God who heeds the dictates of the popular will of the members?
