In Africa, they love until the mother pinches off yet another mouth to feed. Then they spread their love to the next mother. And on, and on...
Before you know it, there are 2 billion more in poverty and despair.
Good thing we’ve been assured that Catholics never post Protestant hit pieces or someone might be tempted to think this is one.
But which is an abuse of the term "Protestant," which would be akin to calling Santeria "Catholic."
Show me one "Protestant" church that does such while strongly believing in Scripture as being the supreme authority as literally being the wholly inspired wholly accurate Word of God, and upholds other core distinctives of the Reformation.
Instead, it is those who hold most strongly to the authority of Scripture as the wholly inspired wholly accurate Word of God who are by far the most conservative, including in opposition to sodomy, in contrast to the overall fruit of Catholicism .
The author fails to know or mention such things as that,
A 2002 nationwide poll of 1,854 priests in the United States and Puerto Rico reported that 30% of Roman Catholic priests described themselves as Liberal, 28% as Conservative, and 37% as Moderate in their Religious ideology. A combined 15 percent of the clergy polled identified themselves as "gay (9%) > or more (6%) on the homosexual side." Among younger priests 23 percent did so. Los Angeles Times (extensive) nationwide survey (2002). http://www.bishop-accountability.org/resources/resource-files/reports/LAT-Priest-Survey.pdf
17 percent of the priests said "definitely" , and 27% said "probably," a homosexual subculture'--defined as a `definite group of persons that has its own friendships, social gatherings and vocabulary'--exists in their diocese or religious order. ^
After examining the official web sites of 244 Catholic universities and colleges in America, the TFP Student Action found that 107 â or 43% have pro-homosexual clubs.

39 percent of Roman Catholics and 79 percent of born-again, evangelical or fundamentalist American Christians affirm that homosexual behavior is sinful.

And then show me one NT church which ordained men as priests, prayed to saints, preached purgatorial suffering commencing at death in order to atone for sins and become good enough to be with God, looked to Peter as the first of a line of infallible popes (well, as Orthodox at least you reject the last two), among many other novelties .
I can see why you say the roman catholic church has problems with this guys thinking....not that it is all wrong, but has real problems.
...so...if I am clinging to two sinful ways, it is ok to increase the lesser while i stomp out the worser. Catholics would say this is wrong. They both worship satan and work on one at a time may focus all energies toward success overall, perhaps, but no excuse for sinning more in anything.
I will beat my wife more when i get sexual urges for my son, hence i will first overcome the one terrible way first as my wife can handle more beatings for now, she’ll heal ok later. Then i will work on my anger toward her and necome more holy. Rubbish.
Addicted to drugs, alcohol, adultery, eating....stop all the son, or slow most and focus on the worst for your spul. Not increase drugs while you learn to forget and leave your mistress.
Words mean things.
