One of the many things that I find fascinating about how God protects His church is how many bad priests and Bishops there have been through the centuries - yet they never manage to destroy the Church. In contrast you'll find the new groups that grow like weeds growing on rock and die like weeds growing on rock - they are created based on 1 dude or dudess and when the dude(ss) leaves, then it collapses.

GK Chesterton put it perfectly well describing how the Church under God's grace never veers to the extremes - like the Christian scientists vs the Quakers and other such extremes

Jeremiah 29:13 Douay-Rheims Bible
