I suppose there is some hope for the RCC coming to its senses, but it would take a work of Providence to do so. How can Catholicism give up the rosary, the infallible Pope, prayers for the dead, the idea of purgatory...a halfway house to heaven, or the notion that saints intercede for sinners on earth. Since most of these ideas have been around before and after the Reformation, there was no wake up call to report. Although I am not a rabid anti-Catholic, these doctrines are troubling and heretical. Yet, even among Catholics, not all believe all of their church's teachings.
