Don’t these clergy know what the Bible says about life? With Bishops supporting 0bama and his positions, of course their flock will, in most cases, agree with the conclusions their “leaders” have come to.
This is pretty much why I left the Catholic faith - it is built too much upon church hierarchy and its edicts, as opposed to letting people read and see God’s Word for themselves.
That argument doesn't fly here hon. The Catholic Heirarchy has had this one right for 2000 years. This is about individual bishops disregaring the heirarchy.
how does one logically appeal to the authority of the Bible and at the same time deny the authority of the Church which by divine guidance formalized the canon of Scripture?
there have been frauds in the Church since shortly after its birth (”even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light”); and on FR we see almost daily the quote of bishops’ skulls lining the floor of Hell; thus, there should be no surprise regarding the existence of false shepherds today
thank you for your witness to life
