Will their church collapse ? Will it be rebuilt with only good guys, like the US ?

I just hope that you can also see that not all Catholics can be lumped into one category. ... I know we don't buy our way to heaven. We are judged on our lives and how true we remain to God. Salvation comes from Baptism and our belief in Jesus resurrection and a life lived on a path to heaven. I don't assume. I know God is love and I try to live by those principles taught to us thru Jesus. Prayers for you and for everyone on the path to understanding.
Do you own a Bible? If not, I would gladly purchase one and send it to you.
Thanks but I have many. My favorite is a study Bible. The explanations are great.
Please study it. You'll learn that the traditions lead only to death.
Have you read the 10 commandments? If you look at the catholic version, you'll notice that the 2nd commandment has been removed. It forbids idolatry. You can't walk into a catholic church without being surrounded by idols, this is why they removed it.
2 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My Commandments.
Mary is not Devine, yet you pray to her and keep carved images of her. Peter is not Devine, yet you kiss his feet and worship him.
I pleed to you. Open your eyes.
The 10 Commandments appear in 2 books of the old testament. Exodus and Deuteronomy. That is a deliberate misinterpretation of the term idols. Most pegan religions of the time had idols of their many gods and the worship was directed at those idols. There is nothing wrong with some pictures and statues to remind us of God and Jesus and other important figures from the Bible. It's just like having pictures of your family to remind you of them. We are not worshiping the image we are worshiping God. Mary is not worshiped but honored as the mother of God. She was made special by God since he chose her to bear his son Jesus. I do like the artwork and statues to remind us of these important ideas. Not sure what you mean by worship Peter and kiss his feet? No one but God is worshiped!
