I think that there is very little the Catholic church can do to win back people. It has to press on. It is a difficult decision to make for the church about whether of change with the times of remain consistent with its past beliefs and dogma. As a Catholic myself, I have at many times found myself at odds with the publicized teachers of the church and the edicts of the pope.

As awareness replaces ignorance and understanding replaces miss-understanding, the RCC will have this problem: a lack of priests to be concupiscenced by popish law law. The trickle of those leaving will become a flood as a mass exodus occurs when people find out the result of such grace + law is as saved + destroyed after in Jude 5.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Well, they recently had to pay a lawsuit settlement regarding this in the amount of half a billion dollars. I really think the priests who committed these mortal sins should be thinking about the fine for this type of abomination. As far as the victims go, all should pray for them.

Mat 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Yea the priests need to stop sitting in the confessional both listening to everybody's horrible sins. Wouldn't it make you go crazy too? Plus they serve no purpose in there.

Give them the candy they were originally offered might be a good start.

Swedenborg's writings are a new dispensation. Why would anyone go back to RCC?
