The same thing applies to the Baptists, as far as I know.
There are still a lot of good Catholics out there, even if the pope isn't impressing any of us.
Tell you a great story about the Church of Christ.
Had a couple I was friends with, am the Godfather of their daughter. They had recently been saved, and returned to the Church, and invited my girlfriend at the time and me to attend their Church. It was a Church of Christ on Eastway Blvd. That Sunday came and I rode with them, and girlfriend was supposed to meet me.
She never showed, and I was worried (before cell phone days). We went back to their house which was preplanned for a cookout and to watch the race. When we got there my girlfriend was there and mad as a hornet.
She had gotten the instructions wrong, and had gone to the Eastway Church of God.
She said “I’m sitting there by myself, looking for you guys, service starts, people start jumping out of their seats like popcorn kernels, yelling, weeping rolling, on the floor. By the time she finished she was in tears. We joked later that the Church of God had literally “scared the hell out of her”.
I was very pleased with the Church of Christ service that I attended, but those were my “straying days” and never went back.
Baptists, and I have had some run ins over what I thought were petty issues. Try not to paint all with broad strokes, but issues took place at 2 different Churches.
Thanks for the advice.
HMMMmmm...

If anyone speaks in a tongue, two--or at the most three--should speak, one at a time, and someone must interpret.
