I am well aware of the decay the Anglican and other institutionalized churches, which, like Rome, evidence less commitment and more declension in moral views and certain key truths than their evangelical counterparts (but who are also overall declining), as shown by survey after survey. This does not mean the RCC is officially liberal, but what one effectually coveys by toleration is an issue.
Meanwhile many Catholics would rather see a John Kerry remain a liberal Catholic rather than become a conservative evangelical, while a monk told me that all Catholics were damned who do not believe stories like Jonah and the Fish are literal. And this is the church he wanted me to join.
But having been a RC, even for some years after i was manifestly born again, i do understand.
The Church doctrine is that even in the darkness, there is hope. There is hope for John Kerry, as there is for every man. Admittedly, I don't have much for him, though.

Can you expand on this?
