In the face of modern challenges to the Faith, Catholics who have a high profile in media, culture and government have a very grave responsibility to witness it correctly; otherwise, they will be held accountable in heaven for their anti-witness which affects the faith of millions.
For example, last Friday Sean Hannity took a few moments out of his afternoon radio show to make an apology. When I heard that the rather brash Hannity was actually going to apologize for something I was interested to find out what that would be. At first he sounded very sincere in saying we have to take responsibility for our mistakes. Fine so far. Then he went on to tell his hearers that he had taken two bites of a chicken sandwich that day because he had been traveling and literally forgot it was a Friday of Lent. He stopped eating it when he realized it was a Friday, but he used the opportunity on the show to make a fairly big deal about the "eat meat on Friday and you can go to hell" issue.
Well, even though he claims to be a "good Catholic," Hannity is hardly a credible commentator on Catholic matters. The chicken sandwich scandal was fairly trivial in the overall scheme of his show, but it said much more about the depth of his faith than anything else. I suspect that a great number of Catholics live their faith in the same way—rule-bound and juvenile—but we need something better from a public "Catholic" like Hannity. We need a vibrant witness of someone who knows and embraces his Faith as deeply as he articulates his political passions.

Your right, but what was the church? Nowhere does it give a demonation, that's because he was talking about the people, belivers! ALL believers, not just any given demonation.
Since peter was recognized as the first pope and the protestants didn't leave MY church that Christ mentioned until much much later wouldn't you agree that the Protestants left and it wasn't the catholic Church that left the church since todays pope is a direct descendant of Christs apostle>
Can't you see that it is the catholic Church following his teachings like Abortion Contraception Divine mercy Sunday sending his Mother to Mexico portugal Fatima Lourdes and Medjugorje Today! Look Into Divine mercy Sunday Too!

How can that be possible since they don't consider blood line to appoint a Pope? It's all political.
