” watch the 1973 film, Catholics”
Truly a great, prescient movie (and book). Film is on the low-budget side, but has an all-star cast: Martin Sheen, Trevor Howard, Cyril Cusack (”Control” in The Spy Who Came in from the Cold), Michael Gambon.
The Bosphorus is looking mighty inviting.
OMG! It’s all about religiosity with you people.
Jesus, the bible, is ALL that you need!
You don’t need a “country” (The Vatican)
You don’t need priests/bishops/cardinals/popes. (who molest little boys or condone it.)
You don’t need a colossal hall with stained glass windows, gold trinkets, statues (idols), etc. (would Jesus worship there? NO!)
You don’t need to give your money to a cult that has MILLIONS or BILLIONS (money and property) while children of the world are starving.
So continue to argue about inside baseball while the whole world is turning to shite.
Homosexuals (even in the CHURCH hierarchy), murders, rapes, human trafficking, satan worship, EVIL in our governments and work places, the destruction of the family, the undermining of faith in every way.
2 Corinthians 4:4 New Living Translation
Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
2 Corinthians 4:4 Catholic Public Domain Version
As for them, the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, would not shine in them.
2 Corinthians 4:4 King James Bible
In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
Nail your talking points on the door, and go your own way.
