….”standard Catholic heresies”? Where did you get that rot from? Oh, I got it, from the heresy” that there is no Petrine authority, and instead every brand of Protestantism is “a” truth!
From Scripture.
Yes, I am a YOPIOS, I-trust-Scripture kinda person.
And you? You trust the denomination that gave us indulgences and self-flagellation and Mary-worship? Gotcha.
It’s a new world, Steelfish. We don’t need pedophile priests to tell us what to believe. We can look directly into the Word of God, in our own language.
You really, really believe that Mary was born sinless, and that she floated off into space and that if you drop enough dollars into the offering basket you can skip Purgatory and jump right into heaven? Gotcha. You believe that and how many other unbiblical concepts? Why not join me in trusting the infallible Scriptures, rather than the teachings of pedophile indulgence-seekers?
That said, this current pope is doing and saying a lot of admirable things. Maybe imitate him, rather than being an anti-Christian jerk?
