The Catholic Church is like family both good members that you like and bad members that you don’t like. Like family sometime you put up with the situation as you have no control.

I wish our society and our Catholic Church was in harmony without sin, but it isn’t.

In-spite of individual sins, Jesus promised to stay with us till the end and ensure that our doctrine was the Truth of Jesus.

I don’t know enough about the “powerful homosexual lobby” to deal with that issue. It could be very disruptive to the Church, but I do not see any doctrinal changes coming (even if Pope Francis leans that way).

God doesn’t like any sin whether it is internal in members of the Church or from non believers.

No doctrinal changes would be required to expel those who are lobbying for homosexuality in the Vatican’s upper echelons. All you need to do is obey the Apostle Paul’s exhortation, when he told the Corinthian church to disfellowship the two members who were practicing sexual immorality. It’s akin to Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple. People are going to sin, but there are some ongoing sins, the Bible teaches us, that simply cannot be permitted inside the body of Christ/in our assemblies.

Also please note. It’s not a case of God disliking sin. God HATES sin. Sin is what put Jesus on the cross. A Christian stumbling and then repenting is one thing. But a person setting up a pro-homosexual lobby inside the church is altogether something else. The latter cannot and must not be tolerated. God cannot bless it, and life without God’s blessing is intolerable.

Jesus promised to stay with us 'believers', not the Catholic religion...And NO he did nothing to ensure Catholic doctrine was true or accurate...The real fact is Jesus challenged us believers to follow the correct doctrine layed out in the scriptures...
