[Jan_Sobieski]

The apostates are the Church. They run it, starting with the apostate Vicar of Christ (Pope Francis)

[Mrs. Don-o]

The apostates are not the church. I rather think you're aware that apo-state means stand-out-side-of.

The Church is the Body of Christ, not the Body of Bergoglio.

It's not that I don't see the present problem. And it's a huge one. It may be the hugest problem in the Church in the lat 1,000 years.I was at a small prayer group tonight with a small group of my neophytes, and all we could come up was this saying by Jesus about possession by a demon: "This kind does not depart except with prayer and fasting."

[Mrs. Don-o]

The apostates do not run my life. They do not damn anyone but themselves.

I do see the problem. It is horrendous and frightening. But ...

Matthew 24:13
But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Mark 13:13
You will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Acts 14:22
They strengthened the spirits of the disciples and exhorted them to persevere in the faith, saying, “It is necessary for us to undergo many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.”

and yet (this is the truly scary part)...

Luke 18:8
I tell you, he will see to it that justice is done for them speedily. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
