King David was an adulterer and murderer.

Are you telling us that HE isn’t saved?

Lot was called *righteous Lot* by the Holy Spirit. Not a label I’d put on him but God knew his heart.

There are priests galore who live lives no better than those few men you name. So they’re just as big a hypocrite as the men you try to smear.

But when it’s a priest molesting boys and girls, Well, hey, nobody is perfect. They’ve just sinners like the rest of us. yada, yada, yada.

Giving a pass to the corruption and immorality within Catholicism and yet holding non-Catholics to a standard that only Jesus could meet is a staggering degree of hypocrisy.

Which is duly noted and invalidates any complaint you have about the moral character of non-Catholics.

Verga's corollary to Godwin's law: When a prot brings up pedophile priest they automatically lose the argument.

Your line of (il)logic has been that some will not do bad things when they are saved.

These people not only did bad things but they did it in the name of God/ Jesus.

Were they 'saved" and if so when, before, after, or during their criminal activity.
