Refering to the guy that wrote the article — he is not the voice for the Christian community.
Yes the apostles were humans- are you trying to be sarcastic?
And which early Catholic church are you refering to ?
Which council period ??
And as for your saracasm regarding what gospel Christians study, we (myself and my peers in bible group etc) study the
whole bible . Not as you claim only St. Paul.
In fact none of my Catholic friends and family study the bible. They ignore scripture and live their lives according to the world’s mold, however they do spend time doing “works”.
They do attend church and allege the righteousness
of the faith however.
My CHristian peers make negative comments about the Catholic faith and I defend the Catholics. But reading some of these articles and some of the posts I can see it is not a 2 way street.
When will the Catholic church clean itself up ? Why spend time critiquing the greater CHristian community when
the Catholic church is such a shambles ?
I was not trying to be sarcastic. I am very good at marking it with </sarcasm.
The fact that you are not aware, seemingly of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church instituted by Christ through the apostles gives me pasue.
Secondly, Christ gave the keys of the kingdom to Peter. Peter’s primacy is discussed on number other threads.
Thirdly, the Coucil period is the Council of Jerusalem. It is refrerenced and Peter is quoted in Acts.
Thus, we have the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
**When will the Catholic church clean itself up ? **
I consider that you might be slamming the Catholic Church here.
Just because some priests made mistakes does not make the entire Catholic Church is bad.
Just because some teachers in public schools make mistakes of molesting children does not mean that all public schools are bad.
And, likewise, just because some Protestant ministers make mistakes of molesting children does not mean that all Protestant ministers or churches are bad.
We really can’t be general like that and slam the entire Catholic Church now, can we?
Argument finished.
