Sadly, the number of ghouls in America willing to do just the same is growing larger as the Catholic Church and other denominations shirk their responsibilities to educate the children and guide the adults in their flock.

I agree wholeheartedly. Moral relativism is nothing new - in the 1960s it re-emerged under the slogan - "if it feels good do it," and the scourge of narcissistic hedonism was unleashed on America. Roev.Wade is a direct result of that hedonism. Like you say, babies were sacrified to the idol Molech in the OT, today they are sacrificed to the god of pleasure and the god of convenience. It is indeed ghoulish to say the least. I believe that the problem for the church is that most churches have abandoned the Word of God as the ultimate authority for moral law and, as a result, the moral relativism of the world has crept in. Many so-called Christians operate on their own authority or have adopted worldly standards of morals. Just look at the ordination of gay clergy, or the sanctioning of gay marriages within mainline churches, or at the molestation of children by so-called priests and how their superiors protect them at the expense of the innocents. Jesus Christ said, "you will know them by their fruit" and the majority of churches in the West today wreak of rotten fruit.

667 - " I believe that the problem for the church is that most churches have abandoned the Word of God as the ultimate authority for moral law and, as a result, the moral relativism of the world has crept in. "

So now you are judging the church, and morals of other god believers.

Where does your authority for that come from?
