I think that’s about the best summary of the matter that I’ve seen yet.
And agree 100%.
Thanks for the ping....
Same old denials creeping across this thread that we’ve seen in others. ‘Staggering” is right. I don’t know why catholics continually post about the History of their church in order to justify themselves and Rome...and yet deny the accurate history, and well documented, of it’s very dark side.....which continues to hold the leadership unaccountable.
There is a vast difference between non-catholics and catholics in dealing with corruption in their churches. If a Protestant church ceases to deal with corruption...and it’s hold has fully ingrained the leadership....the congregation will fight them....if they do not overcome....people will leave....the church splits then...we see this happening today as some accept the homosexual agenda...who are fast corrupting many churches.
But the pedifile issue in the catholic church just pays off their victums and in many cases blame them as money grabbers. The guilty are indeed protected for the most part...and remain so today.
The church on a whole is being corrupted today...this we see clearly...but Christ said this would come as the day approaches. There is not one church who isn’t under attack.
Thankfully I read bkaycee’s great post 33 before it was removed.
Not sure why it was removed. It wasn’t antagonistic in the least. In fact, I thought it was quite restrained and generous.
This thread is filled with back-handed slights at Protestants.
Ecumenical? No way.
