Not with all those pagan rituals, ceremonies, and symbols their not.
From the RCC favorite book of the Bible....
James 1:26-27 26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Hmmm, looks like the Catholic hierarchy is having more than a bit of trouble with the *keep oneself unstained from the world.* part of the verse.
Oh, Elsie, about that *inane* list of bad popes. Perhaps we need to add all those priests their church has been having trouble with as well.
don't go there because the number of "troublesome" Protestant ministers, school teachers, scout leaders et al...greatly outnumber the number of Catholic clergy...not even close, all catagories....
