Institutions, be they secular such as the nation/state, or spiritual, such
as the Roman Catholic Church, are led by Men flawed by Original Sin.
Those that survive and thrive cultivate greatness; otherwise they decline
and fall into the wastebasket of history.
The Church of Rome was cursed by corruption and incompetence during
the late Italian Renaissance which fostered the Reformation; yet was able
to find a pathway back to it's founding sense of spirituality.
Presently it is accursed by a secular buffoon who developed in the Argentina
of Peron. Mercifully he is in his seventies.
In time he will be gone and forgotten and the Church will reclaim its heritage!!!
