Luke 18:

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

Bingo!

Luke 18:14 ...for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased.

You have correctly identified the Catholic church and Pope in their pride and self exaltment!

And we see the perfect example of this and pointing fingers at someone else in post 52!

It's like someone 2000 years after Christ and His Apostles and centuries after the first Christians says "I know better than you, I read the bible in KJV English as it was wrote" and accuses the first Christians and the community of Christians for 2000 years prior of being filled with pride and self-exaltment!

Talk about pointing out the sliver of hair in someone else's eye while ignoring the plank in one's own!

Bibletruth -- you are funny!
