Your response is one way RCs respond to the present declension (another being a denial of evidence), and which is shared by most evangelicals as pertaining to the Christian faith overall.
But as long as a church preaches that it alone is the One True Church, and her nominal, liberal multitudes see little or no real discipline, and treated as members in life and in death, then you are stuck with them as you must remain in the same Church. Unless you want to be in schism, as some Catholics have felt they must be.
Meanwhile, i am cognizant of the possible effects of my posts, as well as its intended effects.
My post did not reflect denying evidence there is many liberal Catholic’s. I am well aware they are out there just as there are extreme heretics that live their faith according to how they interpret Scripture in protestantism.
At least in Catholicism polls can be taken and measured from those who decent from dogmatic teaching of the Church,thus showing the Church what it must concentrate on to help those in error. In protestantism there is no clear teaching, it’s a do it my way theology that can never be measured since there is not clear teachings. Basically, it’s read the Bible and do whatever makes you feel holy.Protestantism is a pluralistic faith without clarity.
