Catholic church official face criminal charges

Well they should be hating what’s happening in their church....not those who comment on it. I’d love it if the Cahtolics on this thread would ban together and demand these creepes be arrested and tried....rather than the seemingly defense they often put up.

I will say that if this were happening within the demonation of a church I was attending I’d be changing that denomination real fast! But of course in their eyes there’s no place to go. Sad really.

And dividing the brethren has always been our goal, because division is a very effective tool against spreading the Gospel.

The brethren will never be divided for they are sisters and brothers 'in Christ' and no weapon formed against them will prosper as they spread THE GOSPEL, The Good News as It is Written.

"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; NO ONE can snatch them out of My hand".

And of course, all this comparison keeps them from thinking and pondering about the Great One (Who wants so much for them to be centered on Him

Great One? There is only one holy and great - that is The Almighty God. Those 'in Christ' are Holy Spirit filled believers who follow HIM and Him alone. They listen to no one else but HIM. His children have a relationship with their Heavenly Father and pray to Him and Him alone as His Word states. They HEAR and OBEY His Word alone. They read His Word and meditate on IT for HIS WORD is the FINAL AUTHORITY.

I’d be changing that denomination real fast!

Me, also. But that's because we have wisdom and discernment and have not given our souls over to a church. We belong to Jesus and none other! His Word is The Final Authority. The vatican who says they are the source of the catholics salvation and then there's that threat of excommunication some tremble about. Fear/Intimidation/Manipulation - the vatican tactics.

But of course in their eyes there’s no place to go. Sad really.

How can they see with their heads in the sand? The vatican was built on sand (their man made teachings) and will crumble. IMO, it's only sad if they couldn't do anything about it.

What sad is the victims of sexual abuse and the church covering it up so those perverts could re-offend. Some obviously have no problem being associated with an organization who does this. They may condemn the actions but stay and defend. I guess it's like the abused wife syndrome.

lolol. Every word worth repeating...

“We’re sharing dreams? Cool! Here was mine last night:

This nice looking fella in a sheepskin shirt was talking to me.

15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

He said we should put away our screennames and only use our real names. I asked him his name and he gave me his screenname.

26 You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.

But he was a really nice guy and seemed to want to get along.

14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

He said we should all just put away our differences and live in peace and everything will be better.

3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

I thought that was all very interesting.

6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

AMEN!

“Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.

And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent” — Acts 17:29-30
