you said “That statement is worse than merely false; it represents half truth, distortion, and outright fabrication. I showed you several examples that were truth not distortion, not half truth and no fabrication.

Were there moral upstanding people in the Catholic church yes? But there have been ones who were not...Quite a few leaders of the Catholic faith were the anti-thesis of Jesus.

By showing ONLY those examples, you showed a half-truth. The chink in your armor was the reference to "St. Peter Damian" ... a vigorous critic of papal malfeasance whom the Roman Catholics themselves hold up as a "saint". Again, that should be your first clue that simply mentioning the malefactors is not telling the whole truth.

Enough. This topic is boring; anyone capable of independent research can easily see that for all their faults, the organized churches have been a force for good and for the Gospel in society. Leave the poo-throwing to baboons and chimpanzees. It's a distraction from preaching the Gospel.
