Much appreciate the attitude.
Agreed in a list of ways.
However, there are endless posts where FUNCTIONALLY, the net effect and impression is one of DENIAL. And, often enough, there is rather brazen denial of the evils of the hierarchy in covering things up.
I think that, too, is rather galling to Proddy observers.
On the one hand this hierarchy is characterized as being
CHRIST’S SOLE CHIEF on earth yada yada yada . . . sometimes somewhat infallible . . . . yada yada yada
ad nauseum
and on the other hand there’s all this horrendous foot dragging and cover-up.
That sticks in a LOT of Proddy craws.
IF—which, of course Proddys simply do NOT believe and from a Biblical standpoint . . . but just pretending for discussion . . .
IF the Pope et al were actually inheritors of Christ’s authority, office in any practical/spiritual sense,
that would make Christ out to be rather ineffectual in keeping the lot clean or at least earnest TOWARD holiness or inept to the max for choosing such a farce to begin with.
It’s preposterous to us that RC’s DEMAND
to have their crumbly cake and pretend it’s pure as Mary’s white hanky and eat it or flush it or play evil games with it all at the same time—and with a straight and usually unreasonably INDIGNANT face.
Reminds me of the scams that Kenneth Hagin has run. Wasn't he prone to indignant faces?
