Next thing you know, you're going to say criticism of the RCC is the same as criticizing GOD.
What exactly do you mean?
I've heard that argument before.
I criticize the Catholic Church all the time. The Church is terribly lax in defending the faith (getting better though), it has lead so many Catholics in the West astray, it implemented the ideas of the Second Vatican Council dreadfully badly, it is not forceful enough in condemning the fruits of sexual revolution and generally modernity, it should have excommunicated all pro-abort ideologues thirty years ago, it should have closed down or thouroughly reformed the Catholic in name only colleges, it should have instituted a full scale Holy Inquisition at the first whiff of the pederast priest scandals, -- should I go on?
The Church Militant is an institution of fallible men, who benefit from criticism like anyone else.
But she is also the beautiful bride of Christ, the communion of Saints who pray for us and sustain us in our journey. Insult them, and you insult Christ Who chose His Church and brought her to be with him in Heaven. What is so difficult to understand? If you insult my wife or my chidlren, you insult me. Do you think the love of Christ for His family is somehow of thicker skin than the love with which a man loves his family?
26 And if one member suffer any thing, all the members suffer with it; or if one member glory, all the members rejoice with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of member. 28 And God indeed hath set some in the church...(1 Cor. 12)
