Honestly, I don’t know what the plan is; destroying the Church by simply accepting secular trends with no Biblical roots makes no sense. The financial impact of this, combined with Western demographic trends, will reduce the Church to that foretold by Cardinal Ratzinger after Vatican II: Small communities scattered about, while most of the infrastructure is closed down/sold off.

Catholicism is not limited to the west.

And I suspect African and Asian bishops will be strongest to fight against the leftist takeover, just as they are doing to save the Anglican church

If you evaluate the situation based on what has been said and done by the Pope and his supporters inside the Church, it appears that the Pope is turning the Church into the first world-wide LGBQT/Marxist Church and telling faithful, traditional Catholics to hit the road.

I hate to say it, but financially it might work. He gets a whole new congregation consisting of LGBQT and Post-Modernists/Marxists (including those from China) around the world and keeps all existing assets.

Or will Ratzinger's small church be the church remaining when the active homosexuals are purged from the hierarchy? Or are we both right?
