You seem confused. Are you aware that the false opinions of individual churchmen ≠ the teachings of the Catholic Church? When words and actions of churchmen are demonstrably in conflict with the Deposit of Faith, what could be more "negative" than to slavishly defend the corruption? "Preach the word: be instant in season, out of season: reprove, entreat, rebuke in all patience and doctrine." Luther taught that "reason is the enemy of faith". It certainly requires a suspension of reason to continue to blindly maintain that the present pope and his appointees are defenders of orthodoxy. Luther would be delighted.
There is a place to discuss discord. Blasting the Church on Free Republic day in and day out does not seem the place. There are enough haters out there as it is. But you by all means keep giving them ammunition. Satan is pleased! In the mean time I will continue to pray that Francis sees the errors that many of us perceive.
