I've lived Catholic all my life. I doubt that will change for the few years I have remaining. I never understood until I was in my mid-forties that the evangelist, John, wrote his contribution for me personally.
Jesus said, "The Gates of Hell will not prevail." The Catholic Church survived Alexander VI who had to be about as bad as it gets. I think our current Pope Bozo wants to take a run at that. He may not have a shot at that since he admits to no offspring.
In the Great Schism we had simony and Catholic hierarchy among the super-rich. These days we have Mother Gaia.
Jesus also said, "I am the way the truth and the life." When it comes to saving souls, I wish Pope Bozo would concentrate on that rather than the hoax of global warming. When you have an utter dolt who can retreat to a refuge behind really high walls preaching a zip borders world, it would be nice if he would put a sock in it.
When you have a nation like the United States that has been more generous than any known place since Sol first burst into a star, it would be nice if this manifest clown would acknowledge that even as a passing thought.
Well, since I am a former RC, he may also advocate my being forcibly censored.

I was raised very devout, and served as altar boy, lector and CCD teacher in my life as a RC, but in deep repentance and faith become manifestly born again at age 25, and which led to my prayerfully leaving Rome, due to its conflict with Scripture in word and in spirit , and into evangelical fellowship. Thanks be to God. Its not too late to do the same.

But nowhere in Acts onward is Peter and successors said or set forth as being the rock upon which the church was built, as instead that the LORD Jesus is the Rock (“petra”) or "stone" (“lithos,” and which denotes a large rock in Mk. 16:4) upon which the church is built is one of the most abundantly confirmed doctrines in the Bible (petra: Rm. 9:33; 1Cor. 10:4; 1Pet. 2:8; cf. Lk. 6:48; 1Cor. 3:11; lithos: Mat. 21:42; Mk.12:10-11; Lk. 20:17-18; Act. 4:11; Rm. 9:33; Eph. 2:20; cf. Dt. 32:4, Is. 28:16) including by Peter himself. (1Pt. 2:4-8) Rome's current catechism attempts to have Peter himself as the rock as well, but also affirms: “On the rock of this faith confessed by St Peter, Christ build his Church,” (pt. 1, sec. 2, cp. 2, para. 424) which understanding some of the so-called “church fathers” concur with.)
