I’m sorry, but Catholics like you are part of the reason that the Church is in the desperate state that it’s currently in.

I posted this youtube video link on another thread about this story too, and I thought it would be a good idea to post it here on this thread too.

You are missing the point...It’s become open season on all Christians no matter their chosen denomination. It’s the world against Christ’s real bride everywhere and everyone that has God’s Holy Spirit in him or her!

Protestants and Catholics... those who’ve had a true encounter of God’s spirit and has his fire living in side of us, we need to get over our differences; and I don’t mean accepting syncretism or Chrislam!

The blood of the lamb and by the word of our testimony! There is no running from the warfare being thrust upon us!

The righteous people of the Catholic church need to drive the evil priests out and reconstitute the leadership even if it means many won’t agree and if it means some congregations meet in barns and warehouses.

"It has to do with his vow of obedience."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "vow of obedience" in Catholicism is not absolute, and does not extend to immoral orders or commands, does it?   If a "superior" (like a queer bishop, for example) orders a priest or a nun to do something wrong, or immoral, or sinful, they are not obligated to obey such satanic directives, are they?

Is it wrong for anyone, at any level, to command some other human being to stop defending the very lives of innocent, unborn babies, those little gifts from God?

Are you Catholic, or just another outsider looking in, well, not looking in, listening to angry pastors who subconsciously wish they had 1/100 of what the Church has.

Well put!

I am NOT missing the point of the Anti-Catholic comment in Post #2, to which I responded.

BUT....I do get your point.

Who was the Laicized priest that was popular a few years ago on FR who wound up dressing like Rob Halford? I think he was on EWTN.

I’m Catholic. I think that making excuses for the clergy has led us into the catastrophe we now face. Your post seemed to be excusing Francis’ unjust persecution of Fr. Pavone. If I was wrong about that, then I apologize.

I know until the 1500’s depending on where one lived in the world, one learned about Jesus either from the Eastern orthodox churches or the western Roman catholics. The writer of post 2 needs to remember that. After the 1500’s the Orthodox and the roman Catholics still need to remember that Protestants aren’t going away and Christ accepts them as his children too...at least the ones who truly have encountered his spirit and have been washed in his blood.

That is part of what my point is. Christ can and will help us all bridge our differences! We are all in for a lot of surprises...and heartbreaks...but then the joys of his presence in bodies made incorruptible!

I thought you were being dismissive of the Church.

I refer to Frank as the Black pope. Benedict is my Pope.

That clears things up. Thanks, sister in the Faith!
