Let’s put it this way. He said be as wise as serpents and as mild as doves.

Wise.

He didn’t say sit on your computer day after day in your house and complain about those who actually have the duty to shepherd and safeguard the Christians of the ME.

Those whose words if not carefully chosen will cause innocents to die.

Until one gets off one’s ample behind and actually decides to do what they have the gall to criticize, don’t bother contacting me with platitudes and sermons.

I don’t deal well with hypocrites.

If you don't deal well with hypocrites, then you must have a REAL problem with your religion. There is nothing more hypocritical than proclaiming you are the Mother Church, the very Vicar of Christ on this earth, the one that the gates of hell shall not prevail against. And yet.."musn't offend the offenders lest they get brutal..we'll just work quietly behind the scenes to overcome the evil in this world and bring about the Catholic Kingdom of God. We'll make Him really proud. All the quiet stuff we're doing for His Kingdom."

He's bringing in a KINGDOM. NOT A LIBRARY. And NOT a HIGH TEA SERVICE.

Did you ask Him? How did you acquire the position to tell people what their calling from God is?

Hypocrit - "One who puts on a false appearance, to hide his real motives, one who feigns, a play actor, a fake, a fraud, a phony."

Isn’t that what you are promoting? Put on a false appearance so as not to endanger anyone, to hide your real motive?

2 Timothy 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
