I think the May upcoming is it.It’s reported that I was a bit of a wild child when I was young - disrespectful, outspoken, and somewhat irreverent of authority. My parents got me involved with the Catholic church hoping they could tame me, and my involvement had me in the church 3-4 times a week. I often wondered how I was so lucky to escape the abuse many suffered.
We either had Godly men in charge of our church for those years, or my unpredictable and disrespectful nature was a warning to the priests that I might be too much trouble to mess with. But my heart hurts for everyone priests did hurt and managed to silence.
I think the May upcoming is it.I have found good and bad people in all denominations. The home I was sent to was a protestant flavor. After finally accepting Christ in my 30’s I became a lay minister to women in need. I found experiences like mine from ladies (and some men) across all denominational lines which has led me not to point fingers at any denomination.
The Catholic church has had a lot of attacks from press due to wrong-doings by bad people. Protestants are the pot calling the kettle black (is that raciss) when we point fingers. My opinion is that leadership is often sought by people with motives of pride and selfishness and we must always be watchful of those who seek it. That goes for government, church, schools, business, all. Godly men and women know that leadership requires an attitude of servanthood and responsibility. All covered well in God’s Word. Society has just veered too far from that Word in our lifetimes, tho we know the enemy has been at work in perverting church leaders from the very beginning.
Excuse errors. Riding in car and hubby must be having fun on this bumpy road.
does that mean that all priests and nuns are good, holy people?...no...but you know what, most are....just like most cops are good and most drs are good...
