Huh. You mean none of the Protestant leaders have ever committed major sins?

There's no 'infallible' teaching that any Protestant or Evangelical churches have to keep 'incarnate devils' as their pastors. The situation is much different. Evangelical churches don't have imperial leaders who we have to obey when they are morally or doctrinally wrong. The elders and members of the church either remove such an 'incarnate devil' or if entrenched shake the dust off their feet and move on to a church in obedience.

You don't have to be bound by 'incarnate devils.' But for some reason Catholics have to become apologists for 'incarnate devils' from time to time.

That's because they are the Devil's Spawn to begin with.

What should be seen is EXCELLENCE from those who LEAD the One, True Church.

It’s not a matter of discussing personal sin.

But tell me, what if the Catholic church declares that harming the environment is a sin.

What do Catholics do?

Do they on their own and with their own personal interpretation of historic church documents decide, on their own, that the church has left it’s moorings and stick with what they think the older version of the church was, or go with the flow and the new version?

If everything could be black and white, y’all might have something to stand on, but your church itself has declared that the laity must be in submission to it and if y’all believe that *sacred tradition* can trump Scripture or what the church declares is on equal footing with it, then y’all have no choice but to submit or be in schism with it and have anathemas pronounced on you.
