Threats of force and hellfire and brimstone..... The inquisitions ordered by those who claim to be Christ's representative on earth. Not very Christlike by all accounts.
Catholic tradition remaining *pure* means nothing. It certainly doesn't mean it's right or true. All it means is that it hasn't changed from what was originally established.
And even that's debatable based on some of the stuff I've seen posted about the church fathers on these threads.
Mainline Protestant denominations also once preached hellfire and brimstone but their teachings has been totally compromised. If you think the doctrine of Hell is not Christlike, you must have never read the Gospels.
As for the Inquisition, you speak with a forked tongue. You love to condemn the Church for its infiltration by homosexuals, but you also condemn the traditional means of rooting out infiltrators. Catholics await the restoration of the Holy Inquisition so that the homosexual priests and bishops may be expelled from office.
