I think you may have misunderstood what I meant. I think there are likely many Christians in the pews of RCCs--I have Catholic cousins who believe standard Christian doctrine. I just have a hard time thinking that there are a lot of Christians among those high up in the ranks of leadership. With all the pedophilia and its subsequent cover-up among priests and the hierarchy (which I believe is straight out of the pit of hell), the blasphemy ("the Pope is God on earth"--really!!?!!), and the rank heresy offered up by the current Pope, I am pretty doubtful that many in the hierarchy are Christians.
You may be right. I'm sure there are many who are not. But I believe there are those who are. You find this common among the people of God. Even in Jesus day, the Pharisees were always against Him. Yet, there was a Nicodemus. And there were Pharisees who believed. Judaism was a waste, yet there were still believers within Judaism.
Though what God had started had been perverted and distorted, it was still structured around God. And thus there were people of God within it. Luther was a priest also, wasn't he?
