***You think a Protestant should research a Catholic problem and offer up Church discipline? I’d be laughed out of the Vatican. ***
No you wouldn’t. Protestants don’t seem to understand that right is right and wrong is wrong. If the Catholic Church says something, then it is. Unlike the unenlightened churches of men, it is guided by the Holy Spirit.
You might be surprised if you tried. Frankly, I wish that you would, if you spotted some departure from teachings.
I sincerely doubt the Holy Spirit would have "guided" pedophiles into the Church to cause multi-billion dollar costs. I also sincerely doubt the Holy Spirit would have "guided" the sales of indulgences only to rescind them 100 years later.
The Holy Spirit's job is to guide believers to all truth. Believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit until our day of redemption. He is not here as some quasi-force to guide a nebulous Church that has shown they make poor decisions from time to time at best. He is real and personal to each believer.
Well, the Church's teachings on the Holy Spirit is a big one. For it to say, "The Holy Spirit is guiding us-not anyone else." is a bit cultish in my mind. However, I doubt if the Vatican would allow themselves to be corrected in this teaching.
