What about" the gates of hell and all that jazz??" How can a church led by the Holy Spirit be deceived.. scripture says the "Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth"
Gee you can not eve because they picked the right one can you??
I didn't use the word deceived, I said "victimized". Do you think the false assumption of the office of the pope was done with slight of hand or card tricks? How many saints were brutalized and executed in His name and how more vulnerable His Church?
