npub1xl3k59e8lmn99y9w0dx07d8kgrp9k5sqan4uqfen6a7zrwsqt04stlw9t5 (npub1xl3…w9t5) There are more people (Catholics) than I can count talking about the elephant in the room. We know this pope is bad news.
Was he validity elected? Did B16 validly resign? Did Francis at some point cease to be pope due to heresy? Under what circumstances are we obliged to obey or disobey the pope? Will a future pope declare him an antipope? What can the good cardinals do? When will the "smoke of Satan" air out? How did modernism creep into the Church? How should we view the Second Vatican Council? ...
There's a lot being discussed publicly. We don't have firm answers yet, other than to trust our mother Mary and our Lord, who will bring clarity in time.
Meanwhile, if you choose to abandon the Church rather than fight for it, and become a so-called "Bible Christian," then you have no access to the sacraments, which are essential. You also end up losing the faith of our Fathers, the deposit of faith once delivered (it is obscured by this pope, but it is still held by millions -- consider all the Catholic bishops conferences in Africa, for instance, not to mention the growing number of traditional Catholics in our own country and around the world).
There is no salvation outside the Church. By leaving, you're showing a lack of trust in Jesus' promises and are risking your eternal life.
If my local Catholic parish went all gay rainbows with Protestantized liturgy and homilies, I would not go there. But that's not the same as abandoning the Catholic Church, the Catholic Faith. We have to remain faithful even if most do not. We can't cut ourselves off the Body even if the Church Militant has a bad head cold. That would be spiritual suicide.
Pray about this more and reconsider. Don't run and don't compromise the truth. Be brave and bold even when things look dark.
