Bishops aren’t impeccable. See Judas.
The Church doesn’t teach that bishops are impeccable, but many anti-Catholics do, because it’s an easy straw man to knock down.
Bishops have been arguing since the Council of Jerusalem. At Nicea, St. Nicholas (yes, that one) punched Arias in the face.
Despite this, The Church has never promulgated a false dogma, giving evidence of the protection of the Holy Spirit.
“The Church doesn’t teach that bishops are impeccable, but many anti-Catholics do, because it’s an easy straw man to knock down.”
We agree!!!
“Despite this, The Church has never promulgated a false dogma, giving evidence of the protection of the Holy Spirit.”
I realize you believe this. Hundreds of millions of Christians do not.
Talk is cheap.
Let them back up their words with actions and they might gain back a little credibility.
Y'all Catholics who refuse to acknowledge the decay and corruption within and make excuses for it all, are like the band on the Titanic, playing the whole time the ship is going down.
There were people on that ship as well who didn't believe the facts they were told.
