It’s the systemic, organized, ongoing cover ups at the highest levels that show the entire organization is corrupt. Anyone who believes that apostolic succession would allow that type of evil is not being honest with themselves.
Correct.....Which is why they will never accept the truth presented about Peter, their Preisthood, the Pope without these there's nothing there.
They have made the Pope/Mary/Priests and leadership their God IMO. No different than other organizations who have a leader and co-horts the membership follow.
You know when I began looking closer at catholic doctrines and the beliefs it's members adhere to I never would have imagined possible that which they believe and practice....in fact I did try very hard to understand...it's been an eyeopener. I use to think it was just all fluff and such....but that the Gospel of Christ was clearly central. I was sooo mistaken. And the posters here just continue to affirm catholicism is far from the truth which Jesus intends we know.
