[Natural Law]

"There are numerous popes about which a similar set of statements could be made, Natural Law."

The attempt to exercise the doctrine of relative corruption makes you sound like a Clinton supporter. I do not deny that various Popes were sinners or antisemites. Many have been denounced and even declared anti-popes.

I just don't compare the relative roles of a caretaker pope to that of the founder and champion of a whole new movement, founded on the revision and perversion of the Gospel, upon which so many base their faith and salvation. If you are a follower of Luther you have been duped.

I'm not a "follower" of any earthly, mortal man, Natural Law. Your charges regarding Martin Luther neither sting nor hold any sway over the truth of the Reformation. You admit there have been numerous popes with the very same problem that you so vociferously condemn. That alone should tell you, that your protestations regarding my statement, that anti-Semitism didn't just fall out of the sky when Luther nailed his 95 theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg, ring rather hollow.

But, oddly, it doesn't.

You're digging right into the meat of the problem, as far as the "everybody does it" argument that has been put forth by many erstwhile defenders of your church, as far as the priestly sexual abuse scandal, by the way. Revisit your statements. They're nearly identical to criticisms directed at your church.

What revision and perversion of the Gospel?

Chapter and verse and where the Protestants are wrong, please.
