I have experienced the hatred of some Protestants for Catholics. It's just as wrong as hatred of Protestants by Catholics. Why do some people continue to keep the divisions of the Reformation alive. Divide and conquer is the Devil's plan, and he's succeeding.
The Church is made up of men. Men are imperfect. Each man pays for his own sins no matter if clergy or not. No denomination is first in line to go to heaven.
It's up to the Church to police itself, and what was done in the past was wrong. We can only hope that the men today are rectifying the wrongs of the past. No human being is perfect, the only perfect human being that walked the face of this earth we crucified.
It is my opinion that there are people out there who would like to see the Catholic Church destroyed. For what reason? Only they can tell you that. No one is “killing the messenger” , but some people seem to be consumed with the telling of the message.

Gee, there are tons of Roman Catholics on FR who say Proddies are heretics and not going to heaven.
