Again, I was answering just in context of the Catholic Church since that how the question was posed.

Luke 18:9-14


The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector
9 To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everyone else, Jesus told this parable: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12 I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.’

13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’

14 “I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”

people leave the church because they have weak faith and have been poorly catechized
They’ve been leaving for years, not just under Francis

For every 1 Catholic we gain, we lose 6 or 7

what does your version say?

From the supposed first Pope:

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."

"Therefore, I urge elders among you, as your fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and one who is also a fellow partaker of the glory that is to be revealed"

Francis was a much more progressive person than most conservative Catholics realized until long after he was installed. I am not sure why those that knew him would want that liberal of a Pope in the first place but the next one needs to be more like John Paul II

This is across the board for all denominations. That’s why I believe we need to get back to basics and less doctrines!

for sure

But people also have to realize that we are here to serve God, not to get everything we want. And I find the modern person has trouble with that (including me at times)
