I guess the only conclusion one can deduce from your post is that you are a moral relativist. You self interpret Scripture, reject the only Church founded and guided by Christ to lead all to salvation and make yourself a god. In short, your primitive theology allows you to place yourself above Christ. No thanks, I will stick with the Truth.

Yeah, sure. I could bother writing a lengthy refutation of your slanderous attack, but it's not worth the effort. People on this forum and elsewhere know who I am and what I stand for, and no one would consider me a "moral relativist." Just the opposite, in fact.

It is the pope, not the evangelicals and not I, who is embracing moral and theological reletivism by embracing and worshipping with Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, animists, and so on and claiming that all are worshipping the same God. (If you wish, I'll dig out the references on Pope JPII's syncretistic ecumenicalism for you when I get home from work.)

It is the Catholic church which has spent millions (one article I remember claimed over a billion) covering up priestly sexual abuse rather than expelling and allowing the prosecution of the offenders.

It is the Catholic church which, while being so firm standing against a little girl, is waffling over whether to deny the Sacrements to pro-abort Catholic politicians.

If you want to by any means claim to be the Church that Christ founded, you need to clean up your own house instead of running around pointing fingers.

For my part, I will continue in the true Body and Church of Christ, a Church not founded in the reign of Constantine, but on the morning of Pentecost; a Church not defined by buildings or hierarchy, but by the seal of the Holy Spirit; a Church headed not by a pope, but by the Son of God Himself; a Church which still holds to the traditions of the Apostles (which they kindly wrote down for us), not on the traditions of Man.

Many who are in the true Church are Roman Catholics (and I believe that sincerely), but the Roman Catholic papacy is not in itself the true Church.
