Religion is free and personal and doesn’t require a church or any clergy.

Well, why did Jesus Christ found a Church?

And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
[Matthew 16:18]

The Church the body of believers in Y’shua (Jesus) as the Son of the Father and as our Savior. It is not a building or a denomination.

Ha Ha.

The gates of Hell have already overwhelmed the RCC.

Did you read the headline?

Priests have been _____ing little boys for a long time.

And getting away with it.

Leave that “church” immediately and quit your lame refrains that falsely declare the origins of the Church.

The Rock upon which God built hiscchurch was / is Jesus.

He long was the Rock way before Peter was proclaimed a pebble.

The feminization of the church has produced a theology of sentiment devoid of ethics.
