Apostolic Succession Corrupted - Time To Mutiny

If the Lord Jesus Christ can be thought of as the Tree of Life that gave His Church roots in Jerusalem, then His disciples, except Judas Iscariot, can be thought of as the first branches that reached beyond it.  Following in their footsteps, the apostles' hand-picked successors, and their successor's successors and so on went even farther, reaching the rest of the world.  Somewhere along this line of apostolic succession Satan corrupted it with Its selections.

By contaminating good yeast with bad yeast, the bread that comes out is no longer the bread of life but the bread of death.  In order for the Catholic Church to be pure and holy as it once was, the Satanic successors must go, except that they are now power players at the Vatican and they are not about to depart voluntarily any time soon.

If the Satan's picks are not going to step off Peter's boat, then those who had indeed been called by Christ to be fishers of men must mutiny.  They will be few in numbers but by who they are, what they do and say will remind people that they are a direct link back to Christ Himself, the very foundation, the Rock, on which He built His Church.  They, however, will not be able to stand alone, and will require assistance since none of them will have a parish and a church.

Assistance will have to come from benefactors who do not seek status, power and fame but who are humble and are ready to serve others in the same way that the Son of God had washed the feet of His disciples.  They will have to be joined by men of all ages from all walks of life and return to the Catholic Church, and take time out from being bored, drinking, eating, snacking, watching television, texting and indulging in different vices to assist the few good and holy shepherds in doing God's work.

Attention of Catholics in the local communities will then turn away from the Vatican and will instead be focused on the poor and humble local shepherds who will no longer have salaried assistants to cook and clean for them.  Instead, he will have a family of faithful local Catholics to care for him and he for them with humility and sacrificial  love.

Donations will cease flowing into the Vatican and it will be forced to auction off its art collection and real estate to pay its bills.  Soon the Vatican Gardens will be overtaken by weeds and the rooms and hallways inside the Vatican will be vacant, locked and filled with cobwebs.  Eventually tourism to the Vatican City State will end since nobody would want to go see a pope who has lost all his moral authority and credibility.

If this imagined scenario takes place under this papacy, then there would be no need for a pope and Saint Malachy's prophesy would be fulfilled.  This, however, does not mean that the Church that Jesus Christ had built is no longer in existence.  Rather, the opposite is true.  It still stands venerably and unwaveringly through time, not on layers and layers of hypocrisy and Satanic deceit but on Christ's unchanging Truths just as it was at the beginning, when the Church was vibrant, when it was in the hands of martyrs and holy men with abiding faith.
