‘Bannon predicted the Church would have to pay millions of dollars in damages, compensation and legal fees’
and until the parishionate stops forking their money over to collection plates and episcopal appeals (mandates, really), nothing is ever going to change; no archdiocese is going to put its neck on the chopping block to institute homosexual vetting, if the cash keeps flowing in, and the pews are filled with sheep only wishing to socialize at church...
the obvious answer is to do away with organized religion, or at least de-emphasize it; the last thing needed here are more layers of bureaucracy, tribunals, and the like...the RCC, to which I nominally belong through family, would do much better to fracture into smaller autonomous branches, much as its ‘separated brethren’ has done, with more local controls if people feel they need to worship...
... The pope is from an unbroken chain the Vicar of Christ on Earth. ...

Bannon needs to study the Bible and the history of the Catholic Church. That so-called chain was full of schisms, torture, and murder. Peter never saw himself as a fist head Christian, and the early church never viewed him as such. There has always been some good in the Catholic church, but it was mainly at the lower levels.
