I don't think Catholics generally have a great deal of difficulty separating their own virtuosity from the decadence of the church officials. At least in the USA. American Catholics I know aren't slavishly oriented toward the pope or the church hierarchy, and are quite vocal about their displeasure with him and them.

After all that has been revealed this century, I don't see how Catholics can continue to associate with that religion.
Are any Catholics present who would like to enlighten us?

I have heard Catholics respond with something like “go on, by faith”
I tried, but could not get anywhere with that

Thanks for the reply, I haven't been around many Catholics (and the ones I was around didn't talk about their religion).
Must get old being a Catholic and having Protestants (especially Baptists) trying to convert you.
That was an interesting use of "virtuosity."
