Petr,
“If that keeps you at peace at night, by all means, keep believing it.”
It gives me absolutely no peace at all. Catholicism is being
affected by a large number of factors, including the CINO factor - of “members” who don’t believe what the church teaches on a number of key issues, but continue to belong and do their own thing.
Down South, Catholicism has lost, what, 10 million or more members to Pentecostalism.
Just a simple statement of fact.
