I don't understand how there is so much media over the Catholic church. Yes it's been around for many years, but no longer than baptist teachings. For proof on that check the book "Trail of Blood". I love the idea of oil crosses on foreheads, original sins, ash Wednesdays, baptisms that are not fully submerged, most are either old covenant teachings or just plain heretic.
The idea of a pope or priest not marrying to be close to God is ridiculous, obviously not marrying turns a man into a petifile and lustful. But a swell idea all together. This church doesn't follow the bible, it follows theater, a big show is what the catholic denomination is all about. I'll sin 6 days a week, and on the 7th repent for those 6 days for a clean slate. Another blasphemous practice.
Where's the need to be a Bibleist, and seek truth through the only form of TRUTH. But men devise in ways that are only substantial for personal gain, this is the flaw of mankind and faith.

"Where's the need to be a Bibleist, and seek truth through the only form of TRUTH."

So much error in your post, but I'll start here: Where do you think the Bible comes from? Who decided it was truth? What on earth is a "Bibleist"?

You can not be a believer in the Divinely inspired word of God as professed in Holy Scripture and make the above statement. I am making the assumption you do but I am not entirely sure because the last few lines of your post were not clear to me.

You may recall Christ speaking about marriage and talked about the eunuchs who are made so at birth, and the eunuchs made so by men and then there are those who make themselves eunuchs for the love of God. Those who can bear it should. Few Protestant groups advocate this clear teaching of Christ, they do not even advocate it for people in general but Christ is clearly praising it as a path to God. Saint Paul also did so, even if you do not think it applies to a Priesthood, few advocate it even with the problems that sometimes come with it.

It is also a myth that this is the cause of the ills in the Catholic Church. The Church of England has a married priesthood and has all the same problems with homosexuality, adultery, and child molestation the Catholic Church is experiencing. The problem is flawed men following their own will instead the will of God. This myth is being promoted by Big Media that has an agenda and has no love for the Catholic Faith.

Re: "I'll sin 6 days a week, and on the 7th repent for those 6 days for a clean slate"

This is a mistaken notion of what the Church teaches, even if there are loads of folks who fit the description, but that is a blade that cuts both ways. I used to be Protestant and found the same attitude there. So other than seeing the sty in our eye, I don't see your point.

Careful or the Catholics will call out the Vatican Guard to stamp out all the secret information you have posted here.

P.S.
I thought the Catholic Church had bought up all the "Trail of Blood" books and burned them?

By the way those 144,000 elect who never knew women Saint John spoke about in Revelations; the priesthood. Sorry to tell you that but there it is.

You can be a Bibleist. We Catholics worship Christ, not the Bible. Without us, in fact, there wouldn't be a Bible for you to worship.

It's "pedophile", by the way, not "petifile".
