I'm not saying the priest disagreed with Rome in his interpretation of Catholic doctrine. I'm calling him a liar. The beautiful thing about the Catholic Church is that it is impervious to demonic deception, since you can always find out what the true Catholic teaching is. Yes, the Catholic priesthood actually does have plenty heretics, but you can always find out who the heretics are; you can always know the true Catholic faith, and the lies of a dissident. In the case of Gearoid Marley, however, it is not a matter of discerning doctrine; his lies are of a worldly nature, easily refuted by investigating his slanderous claims.

Priests are mere men; you cannot know whether they believe in heresies or not, but you can know which things they say are heretical.. and a lot of things which are said by a lot of priests are heretical. But some things said by former priests are outright lies.

Well if that is so then how in the world did the homosexuals and pedophiles enter in mass??? and worse remain protected and guarded by Rome???

The catholic leadership is not deceived in this matter...it has and continues to encourage it by not removing the "criminals" from among them and subjecting their membership, children and adukts to further harm.

There is nothing whatsoever "Beautiful" about it's membership still being deceived by it's leadership on this matter. Nothing at all...and in fact some of those appointed to investigate the matters have now been charged with pedophilia themselves....go figure!

Then how can any catholic "confess" to a Priest as the mediator between them and God....they don't past the test.

Further how can you take the sacrements from the hands which may have previously been touching children where they shouldn't, or had sex with another Priest..."You can't know whether".....

How can you possibly explain when it's membership think a Priest should be gone after for "slanderous claims"...yet current Priests are protected for being sexual perverts of the highest order?

Well, which is it? Impervious to demonic deception or containing demonic deception in the form of heretic priests?

Catholics want their cake and to eat it too and it just doesn't work.
