Nobody ever claimed that there was a church with no sinners. The issue is how the church deals with the sinners and that’s outlined in Matthew 18 and 1 Corinthians 5.
So why doesn’t the Catholic church follow the protocol that is outlined in the very Bible they take credit for?
After all, if they indeed did write it and if that does indeed give them exclusive right to correctly interpret it, WHY don’t they follow what they claim are their very own teachings?
And we’re not talking about just sinners here with Pelosi, Schumer, Kennedy, et all. We’re talking about dyed in the wool, liberal, pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage supporting, spitting in the face of the Catholic church they belong to and yet still receive communion from.
Doesn’t anyone in the Catholic church have the um... backbone to actually stand up to these people, stand for what is right instead of what is popular, and put their foot down and say enough is enough?
It happens in non-Catholic churches. THEY can do it. Why is the RCC so hogtied in that regard? They’re just complicit in the sin they refuse to address and correct.
Oh now there ya went and did it. Expecting the Catholic Church to have all live up to what they teach. The vows of poverty and all for the leadership living in those squalid conditions as an example to the masses. Walking around in sackcloth just to show humility. Oh……….wait………never mind.
No ... you didn’t claim there wasn’t a church without sinners. But when another FReeper said that 3 things wrong with the RCC is pelosi, biden, and shumer ... sorry, but you can’t blame an entire faith for the few high profile members (self proclaimed) blatantly disregard that faith.
BTK killer was a very prominent member of his local church ... do we blame his church for what he did?
