The punishment reserved for our times is prelates that allow the sheep to do whatever they want. Like the parents who do not direct and discipline their children, and instead want to be their buddy, and be seen as “cool”. It was never so:

The floor of hell is paved with the skulls of bishops - it was true 1500 years ago and it is true now. However, when one rejects the Church in favour of one's own opinions, what separates that one from the Protestant Reformation? Luther campaigned on restoring the Church to its original form. So did Joseph Smith. So have uncounted multitudes of preachers and evangelists that have only one thing in common - their disdain for the Church right now.

Forgive my intrusion, Iscool, but I will ask your permission to get you to serve as an example here. Verdugo, what differentiates you from Iscool in terms of separation from the Church, except in specific nomenclature?

If I remember correctly you also (like Cronos) are not a member of the true Church of Jesus Christ is the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic and Roman Church. (Mystici Corporis Christi, by Pope Pius XII (and the first Vatican Council).

I don't really care about what the Eastern Orthodox do or believe, same as I don't care about what Hindus believe. I don't see why any Eastern Orthodox should care about what the Catholic Church does. The Orthodox should not bring this subterfuge here, acting as if they are a Catholic, criticizing a real Catholic.
