The difference is that now the rot is from within.
Your college of cardinals put who they wanted in place and that was Francis.
We’ve been told that the Holy Spirit does not guide them in the selection of the pope either.
Roman Catholicism can then no longer lay any claim to being the one true church that Christ established, not the group that hosts cocaine fueled sex orgies at it’s headquarters in the Vatican, and if someone wants to try to claim that’s a recent development, they should read up on the Banquet of Chestnuts sometime and be warned that the filth they will find recorded in that event rivals what we hear today.
Seems like nothing has changed much since before the Protestant Reformation.
And Roman Catholicism cannot by ANY stretch of the imagination, claim to be *holy*.
Putting *holy* in its title is an abomination when one considers it’s actions, past and present.
Nor can it legitimately call itself the body of Christ as Christ would never condone the horrific immorality the Vatican perpetuates.
Like Judas, the Arians, the Donatists, Martin Luter, Henry VIII and Bergolio they all were once "within" God's Church.
The Church still stands however.
**And Roman Catholicism cannot by ANY stretch of the imagination, claim to be *holy*.**
There are a lot of saints who can prove otherwise.
