Every church is made up of mere mortals. If any of us were perfect, we would not still be here on earth, striving for the "death to self" that marks the Christian. See post 239.
It’s not churches that save us.
It’s hypocritical of some to lump all Protestants together when they want to smear them, and then when they want to condemn anything non-Catholic, accuse Protestantism of being fractured into somewhere between 20,000 and 85,000 differing denominations, depending on which FRoman Catholic is trying to do the slamming.
I never for one second claimed that Protestant churches were perfect or did not have their share of scandals.
But the very same things that Catholics accuse non-Catholics of can be said of Catholicism, and yet Catholics constantly present the RCC as somehow morally superior to others. It isn’t either.
