This might have an impact on how people look at the Vatican but not Catholicism in general, they will see it as a mortal sin, not as a detriment of their faith. They will go on to worship a god who according to their very own reference text committed unspeakable cruelty against them, and tell themselves that he loves them.

This is something that will have a generational impact. Some members will start to give less money to the church, and some will leave altogether, but that won't change their opinion much about the idea of God itself. But the reduced income and lack of a moral high ground will decrease the church's ability to indoctrinate the next generation of malleable minds. We're just going to see the atheist and "undecided" categories continue to grow over this century, unless there is a real catastrophe that sends the weak-minded running back for false comfort.
