Jesus wouldn't be surprised at the state of His Church, He said many would use his name and know Him not. That whole Pope thing has always been BS in my view. As a Tween I experienced the Catholic "Problem" But the Perps. are likely long dead.
I grew up Baptist and there was no drinking or smoking near the Church, we snuck in and sampled the Communion wine, it was grape juice... I was flabbergasted when I went to the Oktoberfest at a nearby Catholic Church that draws thousands for the event. They had a new priest who smoked and drank right there on church grounds along with many of the attendees.
Just in time for Christmas...
Pope on a rope.

Scrub the devil out of you...
