The Catholic Church did many terrible things in the name of God. Jesus did not authorize it. They (the manmade institutions) did it on their own.

The Church is Christ's bride (Ephesians 5:29) and has "no spot, wrinkle or blemish" (Ephesians 5:27). Christ also stated that the gates of Hell will not prevail against His Church (Matthew 16:18). Individual clergy may commit sins, even popes commit sins because in the Church there are both "weeds and wheat" (Matthew 13:30).

Thanks for proving that the Catholic Church never was nor never will be The Church that is Christs bride. Thank you very much for that.

You must read Scott Hahn's books...He changes scripture just like you do...

No, there are no weeds in the church...The weeds are in the world...So if there are weeds in the Catholic religion, that's because the Catholic religion is the World, not the church...There are no weed in Jesus Christ's Bride...

Apparently you guys mean an 'empty' church when you say that the gates of hell will not prevail against his church...An empty building...And that's because because God certainly did not prevail when your popes, God's men on Earth murdered people for not bowing down to them or for killing each other or stealing from the pot or living as queers...And if God wasn't prevailing, who was???

So it was the empty buildings that hell wouldn't prevail against, eh???

But here's a clue...If the building is empty, there is no church/Bride there...
