Has the Catholic Church become evil since Jesus started it?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo. The Church can not became anything else than she was since Jesus created Her for the simple reason that He guaranteed to be with Her until the end of time. The Church is the mystical Body of Christ, and His Bride which He sent the Holy Spirit to guide through the ages. Does the Catholic Church have sinners in it? Of course, we have all sinned, some more outrageously than others, but we all stand convicted before God of sin. Will any individual's sin affect the Church and It's mission to bring Christ to the world? Not overall, if the Church is guided by God and has withstood twenty centuries of being composed of sinners and is still bringing God's message to the world, then we can be pretty sure that God is sticking by His promises. You can not point to anyone individual's sin and say that because of him, the Church has become evil.
Is there good in Church?
There is good and evil in people, so yes.Roman Catholic AnswerBy definition, everything that God has created is good. God created the Church, therefore the Church is Good. Evil is not a positive thing, but an abscence of good. The Church is comprised of sinners, in other words, people, who all have a fallen nature, and are inclined to sin but that doesn't affect the Church, as such.
Does the Catholic Church have the right to tell its membership how to vote?
The Catholic Church in the United States does not tell its members which candidates to vote for, nor are candidates invited to speak in Catholic churches. To do so would be to violate the law for tax-exempt organizations. The Catholic Church in the United States does give its members guidelines on certain key issues in which grave moral evil is present intrinsically. Those Catholics who seek to follow the Lord Jesus Christ in all things, and who would be horrified if they discovered after the fact that they had supported a platform which was gravely evil in His sight, appreciate this guidance from their Church leaders. Catholics for whom the avoidance of grave moral evil is not a priority remain free to disregard the Church's directives; no one has the right to ask how they voted or for whom, and no one will punish them.
What does the Roman Catholic church teach about the personification of evil?
The Church teaches that the devil is a real entity. He is a fallen angel. Demons are lesser fallen angels. Demons can possess living persons.
What 2 major problems weaken the Catholic Church?
.Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, who is God. Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, while on earth, overcame Satan, thus the "Catholic Church" in and of itself cannot be weakened. That would be saying that God could be weakened, which makes no sense, and then He wouldn't be God. If you are asking what 2 major problems caused the Catholic Church to lose members, than the answer would be the same throughout history, which is nearly 2000 years at this point, the only things which cause people to leave the Church are 1) sin and 2) evil. So, no matter what year or era you are looking at, all you have to do is find the sin or the evil to find the answer.

How would the world be if Martin Luther had not challenged the Catholic Church's views with his introduction of Justification by Faith?
Roman Catholic AnswerExactly the same as it is now: a fallen world struggling to find the God who saved it while fighting a fallen human nature, and the the evil one. It is pointless to try to figure out how the world would be if it were other than it is. We must accept reality that God has allowed and find Him in reality, not in some fantasy world.
