Its all the power of the Catholic Church rather than about how the death of Jesus Christ on the cross.
I think it was Archbishop Sheen, a very good man and a holy priest, who noted that most folks who hate the Catholic Church don't actually hate the Church, but rather a fictitious entity built up from misinformation and confused ideas they have acquired about Catholicism.
If you would find a good, orthodox parish, attend Mass, and visit with the parishioners, I think you'd find that much of what you have been told is untrue.
An American Mother wrote in reply: "No, not true. We worship God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever, as we affirm in the Nicene Creed every Sunday."
Yes. We do. I think 'marajade' was speaking about the Church as a governing body. To which I agree. The "Church" (Rome and its Cardinals and Bishops) which make what amounts to a corporation is a far cry from the local church and its congregation.
Blah, blah, blah, we’ve heard it before, we’ve answered it before, people can believe what they want in ignorance or learn the theology of the Catholic Church but until they do they just sound clueless.
