With over a billion Catholics and over 400,000 priests there is a diversity of opinion. I'm sure that if you dig long enough and disregard all other information you can find a statement to support just about any idea. Fr. Baker expressed his own opinion, but he doesn't speak for the Church and the actual position of the Church is readily available for all who are interested in the truth.
I am not asking that you agree with any position of the Church, and frankly don't care what you believe. I just expect you to be honest citing Church doctrine. But I know that expectation is futile since you are such a stranger to the truth.
What you can expect is that every time you make a false statement about the Church, its history, its Catechism, or its clergy I will fiercely refute it. If that makes you uncomfortable, too bad!
With over a billion Catholics
Yes, we've all heard that number. I used to believe it. But then I learned that this billion figure includes the names of every Roman Catholic who has left the church, my husband included. As we were taught last week on FR, "once a baptized RC, always a baptized RC. You can't leave it." lol. No matter how hard you try.
So like everything else in Rome, the membership rolls are inflated by a ridiculous amount. Because my husband, like millions of others, is no longer affiliated with Rome, a fact for which he thanks God daily.
I will fiercely refute it. If that makes you uncomfortable, too bad!
lol. Uncomfortable? No. Not in the slightest. Your comfort is your own business. Whereas the business of Christians is to preach the Gospel in truth. And that makes me very comfortable.
