...and it would not let the magesterium hide the fact that the priests were abusing children, and would kick out those that support and help legislation that is not Christian, such as abortion.

It would actively discipline those that failed to uphold the truth of the Gospel, and would not exalt and beautify those that hold to “helping muslims be better muslims and hindus being better hindus” rather than trying to covert them.

It would try and distance itself from the Muslim anti-christ Mohammed and the satanic Allah.

And it would follow the written Word of God, rather than have an ever changing tradition.

So there's a thirteenth thing that, we now know, we have to look for...coloring books...

1. What does the Magesterium have to do with hiding priests who are sinners?

2. Those who support abortion in deed or word are subject to self excommunication.

3. We don't "discipline" those that fail to uphold the truth of the Gospel (sinners), we forgive them if they repent.

4. Have you ever been to Calcutta? Give the entire Mother Teresa quote: "There is only one God and He is God to all; therefore it is important that everyone is seen as equal before God. I’ve always said we should help a Hindu become a better Hindu, a Muslim become a better Muslim, a Catholic become a better Catholic. We believe our work should be our example to people. We have among us 475 souls - 30 families are Catholics and the rest are all Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs—all different religions. But they all come to our prayers."

By the way, ask Chris Hitchens if she tried to convert them.

5. "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation." Mark 16:15

6. I don't think it's really possible for you to understand the Church without benefit of the Sacraments.

I don't think you really understand what the Magisterium is. It is not a "group of church men".
