I find myself very, very worried about the future of the Catholic Church. The College of Cardinals is mostly people picked by Francis now, and the next Pope may be just as "progressive" as Francis. My heart can't take all of these scandals and the amazingly frustrating quasi-indifferent ecumenicism. What can I, as a layperson, even do? I pray the rosary daily, but I still worry that Amoris laetitia is only the beginning of things to come…
Christ's promise and the Catholic Church

Honestly the Roman Catholic Church is dead, Vatican II and all the problems in the church now go back to Vatican I. The only conclusion to this is that the western church was in error going back to the schism, and the root of it all was moving away from a mystical direct connection to God, to scholasticism and rationalism. You'll know them by their fruits, almost all the deformed sects and schism of Christianity stem from the RCC and it's metaphysics. Modern civilization is falling apart, post modernism is eating itself alive, we need to return to a mystical way of life and stop obscuring the obvious.

I have considered Eastern Orthodoxy, but I really have a hard time rationalizing the "first among equals" view of the papacy, and the Palamite theology doesn't make sense to me. Also, I'm an American, and there really is a "LARPer" label you get when you're Ameridox. And their views on divorce and contraceptives bother me as a tradcat.

The first among equals view was the original apostolic view, papal supremacy was a development and perversion of the honor that was originally given to the bishop of Rome. If a Pope is a heretic is he still a valid Pope? Papal infallibility opened the door to the antichrist new order religion of the future as we can see unfolding.

You keep praying the rosary and remember the church will get even weaker until the final battle. The synagogue of Satan will only get stronger each day until the Son of Man comes. And will He find faith on the Earth?
He promised his church will never fall even if we are reduced to the pope and one layperson.

Except Jesus takes Peter apart from the others to trust him with the whole flock and Peter already assumes a position of leadership in Acts. And Paul went to Peter, not to John or James. And let's not forget the Sacred Tradition that confirms the superiority of the Roman Church and whenever they need help with some doctrine the go over to Rome, not to Constantinopole, Alexandria, Antiochia etc.
Because? The only recent infallible statement by a post Vatican II pope (excluding canonizations) was by St. JPII when he said women could never be priests. And that's the completely oposite of the Jewish NWO.
It was papal infallibility that saved the Catholic Church from being winnie the poohed over by middle age and renaissance popes, it would be reasonable to assume that with people like that fighting for power there would be at least a page of doctrinal contradictions in this last 2000 years. Thing is there was not.
Also if a pope wants to commit suicide in a fun and shockingly way I'd recommend him to try to impose infallibility on the faithful and heretical doctrine.

Jesus never gave Peter total power over all, there is absolutely zero historical or Biblical tradition to back that up. It was always understood that the Bishopric of Rome was to be "first among equals", a leading role, but not a dominating one.

To recognise heretics as legitimate holders of office in the Church is to let the gates of hell prevail.
