I simply cut and pasted from the Vatican's own website and yet you ridicule me personally. Any posting of Catholic teachings and dogma brings out the worst of FR. Perhaps you just can't help yourselves or perhaps you have some inferiority issues that you are dealing with.
Close your eyes and click your ruby slippers three times and wish real hard maybe the Catholic Church will go away......Nope, all billion of us are still here. (Did you check the on switch and the batteries in both shoes?)
It sure seems to.
