And I thank God for His Reformation of His Church, to correct all the heresies smuggled in during the previous centuries of biblical illiteracy.

Problem with that is that we see the results of that played out in hundreds, if not thousands of competing denominations, many of which espouse doctrine that contradict each other. All of them claim Biblical support.

It's confusion. Is God the author of confusion?

"It's confusion. Is God the author of confusion?"...

Interesting question...here's my take...G-d gave us the the knowledge we need in the Torah and the other early Jewish writings...those writings, misinterpreted by man in the Messianic fervor of the Roman years of occupation, have led to a totally man-based confusion of the Word that continues to this day...magritte (ducking)

Say "thirty thousand." It drives some folks absolutely crazy...

No, God is the author of Truth. And, to be frank, that’s not found in the Roman Catholic Church.

Maranatha.

The Vatican—particularly when considering even a hundred years—is all over the water front on any number of issues. Within it’s ranks are a plethera of competing perspectives on a long list of theological issues.

Oh, right, the magicsterical . . . and the official dogma . . .

What a cop-out. There are Bishops and Cardinals . . . not to mention Priests in more or less right standing . . . claiming almost everything under the sun as Good Christian thought and practice

EVERY BIT AS DIVERSE AS ‘CONFUSING’ ALL THOSE DENOMINATIONS.

I’d think that Good Christian integrity would have an easy time admitting that.
