The question is whether we want a church that is small but very pure or one that large but stands for less. The second is the easier choice, but the first is, in my opinion, the only way to assure the long-run strength and health of the church.

Stand your ground on principle and that message will be seen. Do the opposite and the same applies. There is only one reckoning if you get what I mean. His word is His word and there is only one Heavenly Father, period. John 14:6

Went through this with The Episcopal Church, which abandoned the tenets of Christianity and millions of its (former) members. If the Roman Catholic Church stands for less, it will not become larger, it will get small, like TEC. If the RC Church remains firm, it will grow.

The problem now is that Bergoglio is not a.protector of the Church, but a destroyer. A big change needed is to not consider any pope infallible on matters of faith and doctrine, and also a means to remove him in circumstances of significant error, as applies with the squishy Socialist currently occupying the office.
