That excuse has worn thin for a few thousand years, bro. I understand that there are bad actors but the fruit belongs to the tree.
If my church had a closed "city" and was funelling billion of dollars (shadily) around you'd bet we'd be looking at ourselves and wondering what we've become.
Don't conflate Catholic faith to what now occupies The Catholic church. The church was infiltrated years ago when Jacob Frank brought over THOUSANDS of sabbateans ready to "convert" to the Christianfaith. They continued to follow the upside down teachings of Sabbatai Zevi in secret. They practiced sex magik, occult and mysticism. Over time they climbed the ranks with the intent of corrupting and destroying the church from within as they gained control. Some of the ranking members of the catholic church have been subverted by an order that does not answer to God, but the exact opposite.
They aren't my church as I'm not catholic. These are just things I've discovered while researching the corruption we now face on multiple fronts. I agree with you. The church needs to defend itself and take it back, just as we must do for our country.
Christians have been their own worst enemy. Live and let live. Do what thou wilt, but leave me alone. In a peaceful world, that works fine. The problem is, that doesn't work with those on the left. They don't want peaceful coexistence. They want you to capitulate to their ideology.
The left HATES you. They HATE me. They HATE God. They HATE America. They want all of it destroyed. The time for civility is over, or we won't have a civil society to go back to. Taking the high road is what has put us in the position we are in. We cant afford to worry about etiquette, politeness, sincerity, or opinion. Being polite is what has backed us to the ledge with no more ground to give.

Ok. That's still your church. Don't see you and 20,000,000 protesting it every day. Don't see the leadership caring.
Start a new church or hurry up and fix that one. Stop telling me it's an untouchable cabal - do you or do you not carry the Holy Spirit?
Stick up for your people.
Just saw your edit.
