Again,

The temporal failings of the catholic church is not because of its teachings. IMHO its teachings are the Truth and will prevail, regardless of how rotten its administrators are

The only Truth Catholicism needs to worry about is that found in Scripture.

All the add-ons that it tacked onto Scripture in the form of the Catechism of the catholic church are not divinely inspired Scripture, hence, not Truth or even true.

John 17:17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth.

As per Jesus, God sanctifies us using Scripture.

And the purpose for that is not to somehow attain heaven by it, but simply to become more Christlike in this life.

In any and every religion, that is a cultist position - our institution is rotten but what it teaches is perfect.
