“Witness the large numbers of Catholic legislators advocating abortion, voting for abortion, etc., yet kept on as members in good standing in the Catholic church.

Witness Catholic universities inviting rabid pro-abortion and other immoral speakers for commencement, etc. Not only are the speakers allowed, the inviters aren’t disciplined.

Witness the fact that as a new Christian I wandered into several Catholic churches and partook of mass with no understanding of what on earth I was doing. No one questioned me, asked me where I was from, anything. I was just served”

Witness the Christian faith posted here. Oh wait. You can’t because it ain’t there. Guess you ain’t a Witness for the Faith you profess and the Church you trash is just too easy. Jesus would be proud, rme.

So in your Church, eveyone is perfect? Right? No one commits any sin at all, ever? Good to know. They must be perfect, as are you of course.

Thanks. Eye opening post and thread.

“So in your Church, eveyone is perfect? Right?”

No, Twink. We’ve had people repudiate the faith, fall into alcoholism, commit adultery, and indulge in spousal abuse (probably a lot more than that, too, that I don’t know about).

However, these folks are subjected to church discipline. They are removed from the church membership. While they can still show up, they can’t lead, vote, or take communion.

My other comment did not need an LOL. How would you like me to respond to the poster’s question? Should I tell him everything is fine and there is no solution to the problem?
