I’m not a RC, but I am very concerned about the bastion of one of the oldest Christian organizations being under assault from the inside like this.

Nothing new ... happened in the past. We have our Lord's assurance that "the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church". In its 2000 year history, the Catholic Church has been guided by some outstanding popes and a few bad apples. Yet, not one of them has ever erred in doctrinal teaching on faith or morals. Pope Francis has come very close to the edge with his apostolic exhortation 'Amoris Laetitia' but did not step over by formalizing it as doctrine.

We Catholics pray daily for our Holy Father and trust in our Lord to continue to guide the Church He founded. Like those who came before him this pope will one day be replaced by another.

Thank you for your very informative response. Our Lord DOES indeed have things well in hand. We have our faith in Him and not in flesh.

You’re completely ignoring the eschatological scenarios we were warned about at Fatima, Akita, other apparitions, and probably the Third Secret (in detail). What you ate doing is engaging in the normalcy fallacy.
