Methodist Falling apart over Homosexualism

I live in an area which used to, 75 years ago, have a very strong Catholic presence, as well as what many call "WASP" presence . We all know how the Catholic Church has collapsed and closed up shop over the last 60+ years, but I can count 5 Baptist "churches" in my area which are closed and used as a bakery, a kindergarten, a bookstore, etc. The few that are open have congregations of at most 60 people.....one closest to me was built in 1871, and has 24 active members....and yet the keep the building open. I've been to Episcopal churches, where the average Sunday attendance is 15-16 people. One super rich family near our old neighborhood bought a closed Methodist church and turned it into their house....huge.
Sadly, if heretic apostate Pope Francis and his trolls have their way about giving blessings to homos at this "synod" of theirs, the Catholic Church will splinter into dozens of new traditionalist, or at the least, conservative branches, while the original body collapses....just like these portestant "churches"
Precisely. What is occurring too frequently in faith communities right now is the offering of compromises and concessions to those who, for the most part, are more invested in the demise of religion, and the celebration of themselves, rather than finding their way to God. Jesus did not negotiate with the young rich man.
