Don’t be harkening to Scriptures to “prove” anything to the Roman Catholic Church. The hieracry holds the self-proclaimed authors of all Scripture, the compilers of the entire Bible, the issuers of the text, the guardians of the truth and they can overturn, rewrite, interpret all texts as suits them. After all...the keys have been given to them alone.
Next year comes the little girls to the altars (they’ve already had the little boys) and soon the tunnels between the monastery and the convents will be busy with training sessions.
Well, shucks, it is true that the keys have been given to the Church. Good point. However, that deflects from the point of the thread in which it is obvious that the priest is wrong. It is not the Faith and it is not the doctrine of the Church. The Church is the Church of sinners, and Lord knows, we really prove that over and over.
The freakish Father Phleger is a case in point; and there are bishops of the USCCB still alive that would have been beaten to death in the streets by the faithful in the 300s and 400s. However, things are not all gloomy.
If BXVI were not the most Orthodox Pope in the last millennium, would Patriarch Kirill or Metropolitan Filaret waste any of their time with him at all?
Do I smell a zot? Go back to the DUmp.

I hope you encounter Christ one day. I have no reason to think it has happened yet.
