Post this in the Catholic caucus so no one can say anything negative. That way they can ensure the debate centers around the people not the institution. The Catholic Church has been corrupt for so long I’m not sure how anyone can continue to believe the Catholic leadership. I am not disagreeing with Catholic believers just their leadership. At this point I’m not sure how their church survived all this. And don’t try to convince me with all the statistics telling me that the Catholic Church is build on saint compared to everyone else. I’m not buying it.
I’m not speaking directly to you personally just more to the situation. I don’t mean offense to you personally.
Parts of the Catholic Church have been corrupt since Judas Iscariot. The size of the corrupt fraction has waxed and waned over the centuries. But the corrupt parts have always eventually been reformed "somehow"...often by totally unexpected means. The Church has survived because God made sure that it would. Don't assume that today's laity believes the leadership.
Now why would you want to go full Democrat and suppress other points of view. If catholics want to confine this debate to practicing catholics only, they should do so in a catholic forum. FreeRepublic should be open to all conservative points of view, even if some catholics don't like it.
