So, are you then admitting that the "gates of Hell" have prevailed against the Catholic Church?

An assault is not victory. The Church has weathered and is beating it back, very successfully. We have the exactly right Bishop of Rome to do so.
The assault does seem to have prevailed outside the Church, in large parts of the Episcopal and some of the Lutheran, etc.
The Church is the primary target - the visible Church. And the vectors are primarily homosexuality and abortion. It is a war of world views and a culture war. Gramscian refers to Antonio Gramsci, a Marxist intellectual and politician, who believed that it was necessary first to delegitimize the dominant belief systems.
This is what we see today in the leftist attack on the Church, to delegitimize Christian values and culture. Attack the worldwide visible Church, undermine it, and thereby destroy the culture to replace it with relativism and Marxist atheism.
What frustrates many Catholics on this site is seeing conservatives piling on and unknowingly helping this along. To me it is strategy akin to hoping the alligator eats them last.

No, I’m just saying that homosexual activists are attacking many institutions from the inside. Not just churches, but schools, media, entertainment, corporations, etc.
