We’ve survived bad popes before, we’ll do it again.
Then again maybe you won’t.
I agree. But just as Christ went through His passion, crucifixion and burial, before the resurrection, so too, His Body, His Bride, the Church. The few who remain faithful to the Truth that does not change with the world will even cry out with Christ in this period: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!”
Yes afterwards will be the resurrection, but how many will flee from the passion and even deny Christ, Who is the Truth, in this period?!?
