But that disobedience to Scripture and the Canon is so pervasive as to be almost insurmountable.
It still boggles the mind that Catholics can say that a priest, bishop, etc have ex-communicated themselves from the church and are still in a position to offer valid sacraments if their *intent* is right.
And if they are unwilling to enforce Catholic doctrine and teaching, how can their intent be right? They obviously don’t care what the church has to say on those matters.
That makes sense, I would say.
