By staying aren't you tolerating behavior that is wrong? This has gone on for years. And why didn't the Pope take a clear stand against this behavior, and the men doing it?

Real men and real women don't cut and run when the going gets tough. We stay and fight. That's what a lot of us Catholic's are doing. You would do well to watch the back door of your church as well. They go for the big dogs first. If the big dog goes down, they'll be coming for you too. Bank on it.

I would never leave the Lord. I am a member of His church which is not a man made church. I believe that there are members of His church in most denominations including the Catholic Church. I will never put any denominational name above the Word of God. Being faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ has nothing to do with being faithful to a religion. Yes we will see persecution, including the American church. Men will not endure sound doctrine, and many will be deceived, but the gates of hell will not prevail against the true church of Jesus Christ.

A few years ago the pastors of the church I attend got into a false doctrine. We had to finally kick them out of the church. We followed the Bible as are guide on how to handle the situation. It wasn’t easy at first because many of the members, including the elders were not used to following the Word, instead had always let feelings lead them. It did not happen over night, and most of the people in the church left before it was resolved. I love my new pastor, but I check his teaching by the Bible. If one of our elders, or ministers in the church started living a blatantly sinful life as this homosexual priest is doing, and the pastor or leaders wouldn’t follow the Bibles guide as to how to handle it, I would leave that particular fellowship. Yes I would try to change there minds somehow, but if they refused to act I would have to leave as the Bible clearly tells us to do.

Who do you get your direction from? The Pope, or the Bible? Which one has most influence?
