Danger? Maybe... but I don't think we need to despair. Don't forget we have separation of powers that (in theory) will save us from ruin... also, let's not forget how far the church has strayed over many decades/centuries and although it is in rough shape, we finally have a pope who seems interested in gospel-centric reforms. Four years compared to four decades (or centuries even) seems like small potatoes in the grand scheme of things.
