How absolutely and totally hypocritical to condemn the security of the believer as a license to sin when Catholicism has leadership like this and when they or the pedophile priests are mentioned, suddenly, it's *We're all just sinners*, *They're sinners just like the rest of us* (NO they are NOT!), and *Nobody's perfect*.
Yes, impossible to be a Catholic without being Chriatian...you give the names of 20 popes out of many, whom you know NOTHING about...just looked them up...5 idiot political figures who are indeed poor anythings, and base any judgement at all, no matter how miniscule, on those 25 people.
no wonder you fell away from Christ's church..you seek perfection in a human organization that is well over 2,000 years old....and since it didn't meet your "standards" you decided to go off on your own and make your own rules.
I imagine that you are now perfect, spotless, without sin, error free and whatever other requirements you have for perfection....congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!
