Dear Darkwolf,

I guess I'm a bit taken aback by someone who can believe that Jesus fed 5000 with a few loaves of bread and a coupla fishes, and trusts the Bible to tell her that, but doesn't trust the Bible when Jesus is quoted as saying, "...I will found My CHURCH on this rock..."

I mean, heck, if I believe that the Bible accurately reports that a man ROSE FROM THE DEAD AFTER BEING DEAD FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, why would I disbelieve it when it has the same fellow saying to someone, "Feed my sheep, tend my lambs, feed my sheep," and giving the Keys to the Kingdom to the same guy.

As for the misdeeds of clerics, well, Jesus also told us that this would be the case. He specifically told us not to follow their examples. But He also specifically told us that they would teach with authority, and we are required to obey the teaching of the Church.

I guess your earlier comments were on the money. She seems to have fallen in with a more liberal mindset. I'm not up on the various liberal/conservative views in the church.

Anyway, thanks again for your time. It's been very informative.
