Jesus promised that the gates of Hell would not prevail against his Church, and they won’t. My priest is a very holy man, as are the vast majority of priests. I have no qualms about dining with him.

I don’t consider those “priests” who do these things to really be priests—clearly they only feigned their faith and their vows, and are no more priests than you or I.

Remember, the left has been infiltrating the Church for decades. those commies and queers were never true believers. Of course, the Church needs to tear them out, root and branch.\

Do you send your kids to public schools? Because they are 100 times more likely to be molested there than in a Catholic Church. that is a fact.

My argument is that the Church Jesus speaks of is NOT in fact Rome.

Why? Because Rome is teaching its people the exact opposite of what Jesus and the Apostles taught.

It’s bad enough that they’re forcing you to take Communion from the hand of a child molester if he’s the one assigned to you... in contradiction of St. Paul.

What happens when he and his ilk start forcing you to approve of the homosexual agenda on pain of excommunication if you refuse?

Quick correction. The Church Jesus speaks of certainly includes Roman Catholics.

But from the definitions of Roman Catholic I’ve seen, the body is the Vatican is certainly no church, especially if A: it continues to demand submission to the Pope, and B: allows obviously evil men as Pope.

What kind of church commands its faithful to sin?

“Jesus promised that the gates of Hell would not prevail against his Church.”

The RCC ceased having much to do with Jesus quite a while ago it would seem. He didn’t leave them. They left Him.

Most people misinterpret that verse.

Besides, gates are defensive and what Christ is saying is that when the church goes forward in power, then the defenses of the enemy cannot stand against it.

Instead, the Roman Catholic church has become the gates of hell.
