I do think the Catholic teaching of papal infallibility is a problem...

Does the RCC push this teaching currently? Not many RCs seem to believe it anymore anyway. RCC leadership seem to check their polling data and with focus groups before making adjustments in RC theology.

...and that the celibacy requirement has caused them deep and lasting harm.

Rather than RC priests burning with desire for boys and other flesh, it's best that they marry. Or at least be placed on potential sexual offenders lists. But homosexuality is accepted by the RCC in practice, contrary to some official denials, just as homosexuality is accepted by secular government in America as lawful...for now.

I do think a wonderful thing would be for Catholics and Evangelicals to get together and mend fences.

Plenty of Protestant groups have mended fences with the RCC and get more Roman Catholic every year.

Evangelicals with Catholics? That's like wishing oil would stay miscible with water.

Mandated celibacy among priests is not Biblical, suggested celibacy by Paul at a time of incredible levels of persecution (by a largely homosexual and bisexual elite, btw) should be viewed within the context of the situation. You will get no argument from many Catholics over the destructiveness of this policy by which pedophiles and homosexuals were encouraged to join the LEADERSHIP of the church. I mean, what could go wrong?!

I really do think I’m right on the pairing of Catholics and Evangelicals, they fill in each other’s weak spots. I’ve seen an entire Catholic school actually listen to a little evangelical Protestant on the subject of modesty and put into practice her suggestions. They are not the oldest because they are stupid.

Yeah, we know that married protty clergy, married teachers, married coaches, etc.are never on the sexual offender list.There is no such thing as a potential sexual offender list but you, of course, thought to throw that in when discussing Catholic clergy....OATHETIC
