Longer term, The Catholic Church will be the much better for it because it will have the ability to withstand the forces of secularism and rationalism and actually challenge it.

With their man made teachings/doctrines? The RCC is SECULAR and anti-WORD.

I see you like to yell! and can’t respond to what I post. The Catholic Church and its doctrines are all grounded in the Sacred Scripture and the Apostolic Tradition as expressed by the Church Fathers starting with St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. Justin Martyr, Ireneaus,.....St. Ambrose of MIlan, St. Hillary of Potiers, St. Augustine, St. Basil, St.Jerome the firs 4 Councils of the early Church [Nicea-325AD, Constantinopile-381AD, Ephesus-431AD and Chalcedon-451AD].

Every Protestant tradition at some level [some more than others] is nothing more than a system based on the theological opinions of 16th century men such as Calvin, Zwingli, Thomas Crammer, Martin Luther.

So which Tradition is more “the teachings of a man” who elevated their own personal opinion to Dogmatic Truth. That is the Protestant groups and sects.
