Please study Ezikiel 17 to 23.
Sorry, 36:17-23.
More proof that Roman Catholicism is NOT the body of Christ.
After seeing how Jesus dealt with the 7 churches in Revelation 2 & 3 there is no way to rationalize that Roman Catholicism is a true church and that it’s still around because the Holy Spirit is protecting it.
God cannot condone sin and will never protect those who besmirch His holy name in such a fashion as to claim to be HIS representatives here on earth and engage in such immorality, corruption, and debauchery as Roman Catholicism has displayed down through the centuries, for most of its history.
Protestant Church in Germany has had over 9,000 sex abuse victims since 1946: report
2000+ victims of sexual abuse within Germany Protestant Church: report
Deflection and excuse making. As usual.
That in non way diminishes or justifies what Catholicism has engaged in.
Deflection? Really?
It’s a proper response to a false accusation.
It’s not a false accusation.
Catholicism cannot be the body of Christ nor claim to be while engaging and condoning that kind of debauchery nor is God protecting anyone who engages in that kind of sin.
There’s only one entity who would be interested in protecting that kind of entrenched sin and it isn’t God. Just because a church exists is NO proof at all that it exists because God is protecting it. God didn’t protect the churches in Revelation who were engaged in sexual sin. No way He’s going to play favorites and be hypocritical and unjust in His judgment of sin and condemn some churches for sin while *protecting* other “churches” which engage in the same sin.
Now, that's not only deflection but detraction, metmom.
BWAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
You post non-stop, attacking the pope and Catholic magisterium articles by the day, and you claim that it’s ex-Catholics who are the first to start attacking the Catholic religion???????
Did you actually post that with a straight face?
So what *truths* about Catholicism? Trent? Vatican 1? Vatican 2? Which version of Catholicism is the *truth* about Catholicism?
The only true things I see about Catholicism that you post is that it’s infested with corruption, debauchery, immorality, and homosexual, minor abusing clergy which they protect and cover up until someone is brave enough to speak out against it.
Then they pretend to do something about it until the furor blows over for a while.
You honestly cannot make it up.
Do you think Bergoglio is an orthodox Catholic?
Do you think he believes and upholds Trent and Vatican I?
He’s more protestant than catholic.
No different than condemning Protestant churches for sexual abuse of children and defending the Catholic church which is guilty of the very same thing, even going as far as claiming God is protecting it in spite of the sin.
God ALWAYS brought judgment on nations and churches for sin. He does not and will not protect it as that would be condoning the very thing that He hates.
But to your point....any church doing this needs to be called out....if not....He will judge.
Your opinion.
He was elected by your College of Cardinals according to Catholic protocol. They sent up the white smoke according to Catholic protocol.
If you are claiming that God is protecting Catholicism, then that by default means He is approving of Vatican 2 and that the election of Francis was Holy Spirit led, that homosexual clergy child molesting, and marxism, are all OK with Him.
Your constant criticism of the state of Catholicism puts you in the precarious position of sitting in judgment of God’s hand in your church leadership and functioning with all your open rebellion against your current leadership.
And God does.
I have never attacked the Catholic religion, as you do. I remain a faithful Catholic, unlike you.
I only point out the enemies within the Catholic Church.
It’s a shame you don’t comprehend that.
Jews...at least the kazarians that claim to be Jews.
Which version of Catholicism would that be?
And Joe Biden was elected by your electoral college, according to U.S. law.
There are no “versions” of Catholicism.
But there are schismatics and heretics who claim to be Christians.
