Thank you Brother. Nothing like getting up reading about this evil and wanting to punch some jerk in the nose.
What absolutely astounds me about this is the post from Alex that notes the 1922 instruction on this "problem". 88 years later and they still can't get it right. How hard is it to do the right thing, turn the evil bums over to the police and throw them out on the street.
Why anyone who reads a Bible would even go near this church is beyond me. All those who have the courage to overcome the systematic conditioning of dependence that this church is built on deserve our respect.
LOLOL
Too bad Rome doesn't have that same, God-given reaction.
They need time to repent, dontcha know? What are you in such a hurry for?

It's got to be pretty hard when you suspect that it might open the doors for a FULL investigation and it would come back and bite you.

In the vast majority of the cases, those who DO start reading the Bible leave it. It's the discrepancy they see between what Scripture teaches and what they've been taught all their lives that motivates them.
And it does take time to get over the conditioning they put you through. I still remember when it really dawned on me that the pope has NO authority over other people to tell them what to do or dictate moral and spiritual matters to them, that he was just a man in a position.
That what he said did NOT affect me one way or the other.
It was very freeing.
John 8:31-32 31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
Abiding in His WORD. Not tradition, but the WORD. That's how we will know the truth and be set free.
INDEED.
You know, I hadn't even noticed that, but you're absolutely right. They've known about this for 88 years (and likely longer, 1922 is just when they finally got around to acknowledging it back then - who knows how long this stuff floated around behind closed doors) and still are trying to blame everyone but themselves.
The Roman Catholic religion cannot be of God.
