DAMN...and here I thought that the church was MEANT to house sinners...oh well, if it’s just a place for the redeemed to hang out, most of us had just best mosey on......sigh.
What an unbelievable misunderstanding of what the church is about and what redemption is about.
But then again, I'm not surprised.......

I bet He’s particularly thrilled at the love the church has shown to the priest molesters...with “forgiving” Bishops transferring them when they get caught to move into a new place to rape even more little boys.
Jesus knows the condition of each heart and He’s the one who forgives sin. We are not to embrace sin nor be proud of “forgiving” sin. We don’t have that power. Jesus has that power.
Of course the Church contains sinners. That’s why there are confessionals.
That’s not the message the Pope is preaching.
He is preaching that certain grave sins are not sins. He tried to manipulate the Synod into declaring that sodomites, adulterers, and fornicators should receive Communion.
The notion that if a person is not permitted to receive Communion, he is not receiving “mercy” from the Church, is a bastardized version of “mercy.”
1 Peter 4:17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
“I thought that the church was MEANT to house sinners”
REPENTANT sinners. If you are not willing to acknowledge God and accept His will, you have no place in His body.
Sinners, yes, but not saboteurs.
