And you copied and pasted 3 of the 5 the quotes by c-y-c except these two.

But Catholics claim that THEY have the one true and apostolic church and must be viewed from the standpoint of their claims about themselves. If there are Protestants justifying similar acts I would respond in the same way. Why didn't you address these as well?

I thought I did.

Wrong is wrong. Individual men have been wrong from the beginning. Peter was wrong to deny Jesus. Judas was wrong for betraying Christ. Thomas was wrong for doubting Him. The whole band except for Peter was wrong for doubting Him in walking on the water, but even then Peter eventually failed.

It does not make the institution wrong; it makes the individual acts of individual men wrong.
