” And if there is a disagreement between scripture and our tradition, we ditch the tradition.”
Like the way many Protestants have ditched that whole gay thing? (Page Vickie Eugene Robinson.) Or that Divorce thing? How about that women preaching thing? Contraception? Hmmmm.
The moment JUST ONE Catholic divorces or is gay or fails to use contraception YOUR ENTIRE argument fails.
I believe Ted Kennedy was Catholic. What happened to his stand on fidelity or abortion? I guess "tradition" (Let alone obedience)means nothing to Catholics.
OK, I’ll narrow my defense to Southern Baptists, since many of the traditional Protestant denominations have been corrupted/infiltrated.
Are you trying to get us to remind you the the queer priests you send thru your seminaries and then have to shuffle them around the world to keep them out of prison for molesting and recruiting all those altar boys???
You want to pick a failure of the system, you'd better clean up your own back yard first...
