I didn't say all Catholics are perfect.

Wait a second here. We are talking about the violation of one of the cornerstones of RC social doctrine. Ask any person on the street what the Catholic Church teaches on the issue of abortion and I bet >90% will respond correctly.

We are not talking about some sin that any one of us will fall into at any given moment but one of the big ones.

The question is why isn't the church disciplining pro-abortion politicians? Why aren't the Bishops stepping in and fulfilling their responsibilities? Where is Rome? Isn't that why you have a Pope; to serve as the head of your church and make sure things are going the way they are supposed to be going? Why is he silent?

You guys never sin. Especially the ministers. Never any cover ups.

We have a place for those who break the law. It's called prison. But then again, so do ya'll, it's called a new diocese. Oh, the latest big name to violate the trust placed in him lost his pulpit.

Perfect communion of persons in every way.

We never claimed such.

It is like perfection on earth.

Clearly a Romanist caricature. We know that there is no perfection until we reach Heaven. Maybe the Catholic idea of perfection is to do away with all of us heretics who don't toe the Roman line.

Gamecock it is clear that you are called to fix all moral issues with anyone who claims to follow Christ through His Catholic Church. Please come and begin your work. Once you have come into the fullness of the Church, call a meeting and communicate your vision. I pray the results will be as the Holy Spirit desires.

We know that there is no perfection until we reach Heaven.

Exactly my point. I am not the one taunting Catholics by acting as if there is no sin in any of Christ's Churches except the Catholic Church.

Maybe the Catholic idea of perfection is to do away with all of us heretics who don't toe the Roman line.

Who is pointing out heretics and calling for them to be "do[ne] away with"?
