Cardinal Raymond Burke has called for “open recognition” of the Catholic church’s homosexual culture in light of recent revelations of sexual abuse. “I believe that there needs to be an open recognition that we have a very grave problem of a homosexual culture in the Church,” Burke said in an interview Thursday, “especially among the clergy and the hierarchy, that needs to be addressed honestly and efficaciously.”
he former head of the church’s equivalent of the Supreme Court said it was already “clear after the studies following the 2002 sexual abuse crisis that most of the acts of abuse were in fact homosexual acts committed with adolescent young men.”
“There was a studied attempt to either overlook or to deny this,” he said, referring to the mainstream media cover-up of the homosexual nature of the abuse as well as such denial within the church itself.

Reviewed, thanks.
You can “claim” whatever you want, but Catholicism and Trent clearly is not the NT church as defined by the the only wholly inspired, substantive and authoritative record of what the NT church believed (including how they understood the OT and gospels), which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation.
You and your self-proclaimed one true infallible church are in heresy based on comparison with that only infallible source .
When I was writing it, I thought of minor variations regarding the two Esdras, but I was wrong. The difference is in how some of them are named and in the order. Spot any other?
This is Trent:
The five books of Moses (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy), Josue, Judges, Ruth, the four books of Kings, two of Paralipomenon, the first and second of Esdras (which latter is called Nehemias), Tobias, Judith, Esther, Job, the Davidic Psalter (in number one hundred and fifty Psalms), Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, the Canticle of Canticles, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Isaias, Jeremias, with Baruch, Ezechiel, Daniel, the twelve minor Prophets (Osee, Joel, Amos, Abdias, Jonas, Micheas, Nahum, Habacuc, Sophonias, Aggeus, Zacharias, Malachias), two books of Machabees, the first and second.This is Old Testament per Canon xxxvi of Hippo:

It is Catholic teaching that grace is not a result of works, this is why it is in the Letter to the Ephesians.
The Church changes. The doctrines don’t change, but they may develop over time. Practices, liturgy, administrative structures change all the time.
They are not: all the rites you mentioned, and any other Catholic rites you never heard of have the exactly same theology, that is why they are all Catholic.
I read your opinion, but the Church doesn’t teach what you teach.
Since the charge against sola fide is based upon a strawman of it, meaning one is saved by a faith that is inert, that does not produce works by the Spirit (as has been patiently explained), then a Catholic can easily claim to have refuted sola fide by showing that works are necessary for salvation.
But which means works are necessary fruit, as that only the God-given faith which effects obedience towards its object is salvific, versus works themselves actually gaining one salvation, with actually becoming good enough to be with God thru RC purgatory.
Thus Luther himself taught Works are necessary for salvation, but they do not cause salvation; for faith alone gives life.
Of course, Rome teaches that in conversion one is saved by pure grace, having no works to offer, yet after that, by cooperating with grace (mainly dispensed thru the sacraments) he must become good enough to be with God. Which the newly baptized are held to be, but since the carnal nature is still there and manifests itself, then RC purgatory usually is required.
The paradox is that while Catholics claim to believe in works and that we believe in salvation by a "faith" that does not effect works, it is evangelicals who attest to working out their faith far more than Catholics. Who are the one who really manifest that they hold to "easy believism." Thus the Catholic who "refutes" sola fide by enlisting versus which
If it is not by works...which is what Paul is saying...then it is by faith...and only faith that we are saved.
Somehow, there are a dozen people on this thread posting stuff to one me, so someone must be interested in Catholicism. It is a good thing.
Well, true, we don't. I can only repeat: I am here to correct errors regarding Catholicism and answer questions about it. I am not interested in Protestantism however differently it might be expressed by someone.
The verses are there. I didn’t write them. Argue with the authors.
One can debate decisions of local councils indeed, with the guidance of the Church. There probably was a point when Luther, too, was within his right to debate his ideas and remain Catholic. Then, he crossed that line into heresy and blasphemy. I do not have enough interest in that jerk to discuss with you when and how.
When you posted a question, I answered. When you post a lecture with some question marks here and there, I ignore it.
“The verses are there. I didn’t write them. Argue with the authors.”
No, we agree with the author/God.
It is YOPIOS that distorts the meaning disagrees with God’s Word.
Naughty behavior.
“It is Catholic teaching that grace is not a result of works, this is why it is in the Letter to the Ephesians.
Sure, then it is negated by useless works and false sacraments.
Nor is Catholic merit nor catholic grace able to save a soul.
We are here to show the false doctrines of Rome as we would with Mormonism or Islam.
We do have an interest in the Roman Catholic individual coming to a saving knowledge of Christ....and only Christ, as their Savior.
Which goes to prove that RC’s are as hungry for assurance of their salvation as anyone else, and yet they don’t have it.
That’s why they go through Mary. They think it’s easier to get to God through her than Jesus. And they think it’s easier to get to Jesus through her than, well, just asking Him themselves.
Change by any other name.
Just like annulment isn’t divorce and NFP isn’t contraception.
They sure have you guys snowed.
IIRCC, V2, said we're all hunky dory now.
