The Catholic Church is only ONE church, not THE one true church. I wouldn’t trust a priest more than I would my own pastors because I know them well and I know the fruits of their lives. Sometimes, Mark, you just have to trust the leadership that you KNOW. A priest or a pastor, doesn’t matter. If they’re spirit-filled and walking the walk, I will choose to trust what they say as long as it doesn’t contradict scripture.
***Sometimes, Mark, you just have to trust the leadership that you KNOW.***
It all goes back to God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
