"Your Pope and many Archbishops want to lecture the world about the “gifts and talents” of homos?!?!? And you want to disparage Protestants??? Please, clean your own house first!"

=============================================================

The "twelve" that Jesus personally picked included someone who committed one of the most vile, evil acts ever done.

Does that mean you reject Jesus and His Church just because 8% of his special, personally chosen assistants was rotten to the core?

One could say, "Well, I'm not going to listen to this Jesus, because look at what a member of His team did!", but that would be a very foolish and wrong thing to say.

Jesus is the Head of His Church, and He also identifies with His Church.    He asked Saul, "Saul, why do you persecute Me?"

The sins of individual members of the Church are not the same thing as "the Church", and it is very important to learn that.    (Think about Judas.)

“He asked Saul, “Saul, why do you persecute Me?””

He also said to “beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing”.

And, “by their fruit shall ye know them.”

But when the entire organization incorporates paganism as the Catholic Church does and demands it of it's adherents it is no longer the "church" that Christ calls His body.

Yeah but Paul repented.

The sodomites don’t want to repent and want your magesterium to accept their sin as “normal.” Then demand to be openly homosexual and be clergy.

You have no idea what this current Pope is going to do.
