Here we have the ultimate buck passing. You are not responsible for your sins - Somebody else is. Therefore you get a free pass no matter what you do.
This is what we accuse the Protestant Reformation of, and what you guys keep trying to deny. Yet it is inherent in every post.
Absolutely no accountability or responsibility. Just not Catholic and that's all that counts.
Honestly, Mark, there are responsible, articulate and knowledgeable Protestants. They are aware of the choice they make and its risks, challenges, responsibilities and implications; they make an informed choice rather that rebel to rebel.
But we do not see that here.

Did I say that or are you misrepresenting what I said again?

You mean like the mafia hitman who's a good, practicing Catholic and can just go to confession, which the priest is bound to keep silent about, and confess his sin and pay no legal or civil penalties, but takes a few trips about the rosary and voila' he's all free and clear.
And in case that's not enough, he can stack up some good works feeding the poor and get that get out of purgatory free cards.
Or maybe he can just buy some indulgences......Kind of pre-pay.
