Unfortunately for the Catholic church, the West is no longer populated by illiterate serfs. Fortunately for the Catholic church, its adherents approach the scriptures the same way Mormons do: Scripture is fine so long as it doesn’t contradict their leadership’s pronouncements.
Giving so little effort to understanding and following God’s word is a choice each capable person makes. It speaks volumes about the heart. And that choice has consequences.
Amen bro.

Which is exactly the same thing Protestants do. Whoever keeps posting these threads for the pure sake of causing arguments would do well to remember Jesus’s words of pull the plank from your own eye before trying to remove the splinter from another. Clean your own house and the evil that is lurking within it. Then come criticize ours.
