I know, i was one and live in one of their strongholds. where Ted K and Kerry are still members, and will receive glorious funerals, sending a message that as long as one dies a Catholic, her lobby power will gain them eternal life. A false gospel to be sure, as is teaching that works help merit one eternal life. Etc.
You are spot on.
Many Protty edifi/ structures/ bureaucracies/ whited sepulchers are almost as hideous . . . . a stench in God’s nose.
