[4] Chesterton, alas, was wrong. We no longer want a Church that moves the world. We want a Church that moves with the world. But what we want is the opposite of what we need.

Either the [Roman Catholic] Church is the voice of Jesus Christ on earth, supernaturally and infallibly guaranteed by Almighty God to reveal to us His word and His will, not man's, not 'society's'; or it is not.

If it is, then we must stop all this pussyfooting nonsense about rights to dissent and exceptionalisms. Do we have a right to dissent against God? Do we want to be exceptions to the Will of God?

If the Church is not what she claims to be, then it is the most idolatrous, blasphemous, and arrogant thing in the world, and it is the duty of every lover of Christ to hate and oppose her.

Note Prof. Kreeft's logic-

Either the RC "church" IS or IS NOT what it claims to be.

Either all the popes ARE what they are claimed to be,

or they are NOT.

Either every pope has been and is everything RC doctrine claims a pope is,

or every pope has been a fraud.

Centuries ago, Elijah said to a crowd of fence sitters-

".......How long will you falter between two opinions ?

If Lord is God, folllow Him; But if Baal, then follow him.

But the people did not answer him a word." 1Kin.18:21
