By Dr. Edward Feser, Catholic World Report - If a man suffers for weeks from a broken arm or a persistent flu, we don’t for that reason judge him to be generally of poor health... And in the same way, the Church’s indefectibility and holiness are not undermined by the fact that in some generations she is especially afflicted with members and leaders who are foolish, wicked, or otherwise fail their Mother and her divine Spouse. The Church, as it is said, thinks in centuries. And that is the scale at which she must be understood.
