"Home"? To a church where a Grandmother will tell her daughter to verbaly, emotionally and physicaly abuse her child because he wasn't confirmed in the Roman Catholic Church?
If that is "home", I choose to be "homeless"!
Please. The Church would never tell her to do this. If the grandmother was a nutcase, that was something she did on her own.
If you're looking for a church without sinners, I suggest (a) you'll be looking for a long time; and (b) if your search is successful, please don't join up and spoil it for everyone else.
If that is "home", I choose to be "homeless"!
Don't know the reference, but it sounds anecdotal. You will always be able to find individuals that misuse or misinterpret their place.
The existence of individual teachers that sleep with students doesn't mean that I choose that my children are "uneducated"!
The existence of individual policemen that take bribes doesn't mean that I choose that my family is "unprotected"!
And the existence of individual doctors that are deficient doesn't mean that I choose that I am "untreated"
It means that the world is full of imperfect and sometimes misguided human beings and I need to let His ideals guide my actions, not their failings.
His ideals have been occasionally misrepresented, but they haven't changed since His son gently laid them out circa 2000 years ago. The Catholic church today is much closer to those ideals than the human corrupted mess that represented itself as the Catholic church 500 years ago and doesn't merit the scorn that Luther's followers visit upon it.
