Christ did not leave us with a Bible and instructions to form our own churches whenever the existing clergy scandalize us. He founded His Church: “Upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). St. Paul calls that Church “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15) and commands Christians to “hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle” (2 Thessalonians 2:14). Christianity is not me, my Bible, and whatever congregation I decide to assemble.

Corrupt clergy, abuse, bad architecture, and faithless churchmen are real scandals, but none of them nullifies Christ's promises or gives us authority to found another church. Judas did not invalidate the Apostolic Church, and bad successors cannot overthrow what Christ established. Expose genuine corruption where there is evidence, certainly—but don't turn allegations about “Satanist infiltrators” into claims of fact without proof.

And absolutely reject the last part of your comment. “Impale them” is not Christianity. Error is answered with truth, prayer, correction, and lawful action—not murder. Christ rebuked Peter for taking up the sword and commanded: “Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword” (Matthew 26:52). We defend the Faith precisely by remaining faithful to Christ when others are not.
