well...I think you just did that for yourself...”the Church doesn’t exist to make the world a better place”...you know...I think the Pope might disagree with you on that one.

This thread was about pedophile priests that no-one challenged...and that lack of thinking....hurt thousands of kids and their families...enjoy your blind bliss.

I don't think so. The Church -- by which I mean the Catholic Church -- was founded by Christ as the means of salvation. To live conformed to Christ has temporal consequences, but in no sense is it a temporal project. The Episcopalians OTOH are fine with the notion that the point of Christianity is literacy projects and indoor plumbing. They are also fine with heterodoxy, so long as everyone plays nicely and pretends to be comfortable together. Perhaps you'd be more "Happy" with them.

Still waiting for your answer to my question: Where/when did Jesus give us the responsibility for his Church? Man up yourself by owning your statements, or else shut up.
