I think that, after failing to save polygamy, the Mormons have basically decided to cozy up to D.C. while making big bucks via financial schemes (Romney is great example) and trying to broaden their demographics. A less honorable nonconfrontation strategy than the Amish.
Yes, I am Catholic, although I don’t hear Mass every week; it will improve soon, but once a month is all I can manage, with particularly important festivities causing one or two additional visits. I will admit to my distaste for Pope Francis (and, especially, what has recently happened in the Order of Malta), but I cannot understand those who demand their removal from the Church’s rolls; the revealed Truth has not changed despite the administrative quarrels, and it is frankly stupid to place political ends above God’s affairs, for only the latter are perpetual.
Outrage is, at times, reasonable; the same applies for our natural desire to see Rome stand as it once did ― virile, vigorous, and sumptuous. But it is unwise to preach separation instead of resilience; it is unwise to hold that the Church will not overcome the slight putrefaction, thereby burning off the bits of rotten wood that are to be regularly discarded with the passage of time and the accumulation of arenaceous crooks and scoundrels.
Brief lines come to mind in these times:
Petre, tu es Christi es Vicarius super terram,
Rupes inter fluctus, tu es pharus ac veritas.
Tu Christi es caritas, tu es unitatis custos,
Promptus libertatis defensor; in te auctoritas.
