Knowing how the RCC idolizes suffering as a merit gainer, I shouldn’t have expected anything else.

“”Knowing how the RCC idolizes suffering as a merit gainer””

This is not true,dear friend, we are willing to suffer out of humility and for love of neighbor and those in need, we expect nothing in return for this sacrificial unconditional love.

Try reading the lives of Saint Benedicta the Cross(Edith Stien)who was a Jewish convert to Catholicism and executed by the Nazi's and you will get an idea of what's being said here
