1) Pederasty over and over with Priests "just moved" and new congregations "just not told". (And the apologists who NEVER condemn it as bad, never admit it happened, and then change the subject in the next post to avoid having to defend it.)
2) The "Children's Crusades".
3) "Call no man Father."
4) Indulgences sold to the rich for profit.
Really, I have MANY good Catholic friends. If we concentrate on our unity, I never bring this stuff up. But every so often on here SOMEBODY wants to stir the pot. As I have said, I'm done here. I am too old to go on the thousand FlameWar responses that this Shameless Troll will evoke. And instead of wasting your time deciding brother from brother...why don't YOU go out and take the effort used to divide us and WITNESS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST'S FORGIVENESS AND GRACE TO SOME LOST PEOPLE. Because at the Great Debriefing, My Lord is going to ask me not how many people I got to walk away from Him by acting like petty bickering pagans, but rather how many of my fellows I showed Christ's love to and convinced them, by my reflecting the light and grace of God's free gift, to accept him. You sad troll.
Sorry... “dividing” not “deciding”.
Public sin cries out for public repentance. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
