To: ebb tide

What a terrible shame.

The feature that served as a bulwark in the Roman segment of Christendom — its hierarchy, capped by a traditional successor to Peter himself — has rotted enough to require Catholics who want to live blessed, godly Christian lives to do a radical rethink.

Obviously, concerns about people going to hell arise. Now maybe the church is giving itself too much credit or blame in the matter. Maybe we crazy evangelicals are correct that it’s a Jesus and predestination/foreknowledge matter and it’s something that not even an erring church can mess up. If someone goes to hell, nothing would have stopped it anyhow — at best being around a better church would have caused them to go to hell with a better veneer.

‘Maybe we crazy evangelicals’

Maybe we crazy evangelicals ought to stay off the Catholic Caucus threads.
