1. Thought I did, I apologize
2. No, it’s not mind reading unless YOU are God. If you are not God then you are interpreting His Word
3. I guess you throw yourself into the catagory of “The One who knows the mind of God” I never used your name.
apology accepted.
My point was simple. The article posted was not about “protestant” sexual immorality - though protestants were contained within the study - but it was about religious sexual immorality among clergy.
To highlight “protestant”, when it wasn’t specified in the article, seems trite for us as Catholics. We have our own problems to deal with forthrightly and without cover up.
If we are not willing to hold to the standards for the Church that God himself specifies, then our testimony to the world is poor. No amount of pointing out wrongdoing of other groups makes us more righteous.
If we can’t agree with that, we will never agree.
best,
