but I think the "royal road" to a deeper faith in the God who reveals Himself and His love to us is found in the Church.

Can't be...Your church would be nothing without the scripture, even tho it's (the scripture) severely abused...

There are plenty of folks that have a very 'deep faith' in God who never set foot in one of your churches but are fed directly thru the word of God, the scripture...

I don’t see how your post contradicts mine — except for the “Can’t be” part. You put some other controversial statements in there, but while I disagree with them to some extent, they don’t have anything to do with what I said.

...a litle bit of detailed explanation of the above inane utterance would be of benefit...to us beknighted, uncool children of the papacy...

Good thing the Church you disdain assembled those New Testament books for you.

Or did they get that part wrong, too? Oh, dear!
