. . . loyal Catholics are blinded to the reality of the RCC.


INVINCIBLE IGNORANCE is the key here.

They KNOW, really they do, they chose to PRETEND that all is well, and that the ship is fine....but every now and then, by MISTAKE someone slips up and mutters some TRUTH by mistake.

Quote:
On March 25, Good Friday, in the meditations for the Stations of the Cross at the Coliseum, Ratzinger lamented

"how much filth there is in the Church, and even among those who, in the priesthood, ought to belong entirely to [Christ]



Note:

The FILTH IS STILL THERE, may of the filthiest have been now promoted, and the filthhiest of all, Marciel Maciel of the Legionairres of Christ, caught red handed seducing { now up to } 11 SEMINARIANS, was "disciplined" by being asked to RETIRE IN LUXURY with ZERO reduction of his rank, status, and privilidge. Essentially, his "punishment' is to be surrounded by wealth, fawning young supplicants, till the day of his death.
