Actually that is what Michael Servetus overheard Calvin saying, and what he really was burned at the stake for.
Do you think they will try the insanity defense and say they are demon possessed. So they can avoid jail time with the other perverts, do you think they will say one good exorcism and they will be fine and ready to assume their assigned duties?
I doubt it; they are not leftist like the Orthodox Presbyterian Church is, as evidenced by its chief proselytizer on this thread.
But what would the RCC official say? Hmmmm The demons in the possessed priests made him do it; otherwise. they would attack him, also? Or they don't remember? Or the victims are lying? Gee, so many options. The truth isn't an option because then they would have to pay the consequences of their crimes - and then all that work keeping it hidden is lost. Does the Vatican ever open their own jail for these failed catholics and criminals to society?
Nope, we just watch as they construct their Crystal Cathedrals, and Bob Jones Universities, and sell hankies and prayer wheel monologues in tents. Over the last 2000 years, we've seen 'em come and seen 'em go. The only question is when will they actually go, and how much destruction will actually occur during their demise.
Are these crimes and sins worthy of excommunication? Of is that only for law abiding members for not obeying heresy teaching?
Matthew 9: 9 5 6 As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the customs post. He said to him, "Follow me." And he got up and followed him. 10 While he was at table in his house, 7 many tax collectors and sinners came and sat with Jesus and his disciples. 11 The Pharisees saw this and said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher 8 eat with tax collectors and sinners?" 12 He heard this and said, "Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do. 9 13 Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' 10 I did not come to call the righteous but sinners."
My own personal desire is that all the self-proclaimed Bible Believers (tm) actually pick up their Bibles, drop the blinders from their eyes and receive the Grace of God and understanding of His Word, and also His word. I have seen many of your posts and I do not believe, just as in this example, that the word of God seems to mean anything more than a cudgel to you, that you may bash others.
Luke 7: 36 10 11 A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner." 40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. 41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages 12 and the other owed fifty. 42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?" 43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have judged rightly." 44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. 47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. 13 But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little." 48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
I will ask this generally; do you have saving faith? How many of you reading this thread have faith anywhere near as great as this woman? How do you show it?
I’m not judging - get to know the Truth. The catholics IGNORANCE to the obvious goes along with the heresy teachings they are fed. I’ve seen plenty of your posts with judging to the endth degree and their ‘crime’ was - they weren’t catholic. Seems crimes against society and covering them up aren’t bad enough to reach your ‘judging’ stage but it sure does when it comes to NOT being a catholic.
Grow up and stop protecting and ignoring the evilness that is within the RCC. And being concerned for ALL the victims seems too hard for catholics to even focus on - they’re probably seen as the enemy and only looking for a payday.
