Without a doubt, Msgr Pope is totally right about what happened to mainline white Protestant churches. Sadly, there are some laity and clergy (including not a few bishops and cardinals) in the Catholic Church who look to Episcopal Church USA, United Methodist, United Church of Christ, etc., and see not failure but a model to be emulated.

[Robwin]

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! Isaiah 5:20-21

As difficult as it is we must pray for these misguided souls. Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.
