“The corruption of Catholicism goes WAY back into it’s almost 2,000 year old history.”

Adam and Eve became corrupt even though they talked with God and lived in Eden. Why would you expect all men in the Church to be different even though Christ founded it?

That's the best you can do to blow of the vile, filthy, debauchery that your papacy has displayed in the past????

And what a reflection of your mindset, that you would excuse it so causally.

The very Scripture that y'all claim your church wrote condemns that level of sin and depravity and has standards in it for those in spiritual leadership positions that do NOT allow for that like of sin.

How hypocritical of you and your church to hold the laity to standards of behavior that y'all don't hold your own clergy to.

So you then put yourself in the position of defending the likes of Alexander VI and if anyone has the stomach to read it, there is information about the orgies he would hold and the sexual escapades he and the other clergy engaged in.

And that's no different than the rest of us?

Yes it is.

So if you want to put yourself in that kind of company, then fine, go ahead.

But you cannot broad brush the rest of humanity into that level of demonic behavior.

You have revealed a lot about your character by treating that history of your so lightly instead of condemning it in the fullest.So why would I expect the men of the church to be different?

Because no born again, born from above child of God, filled with the Holy Spirit would or could ever engage in that level of disgusting sin and filth. And anyone who takes the moral high ground like the Catholic church does better be able to live it themselves.

Because they are claiming to be Christ's representatives here on earth and if they do they ought to, need to, and have to live as Christ lived.

Are those men then accurate representations of Jesus Himself?

Wow...you're right. Or any of us, for that matter.

I'd never thought about the first parents from that point of view before, but you're right.

And thanks for the reminder. Tell you what, living aware is way harder than it looks, and I still forget the consequences of that mirror sometimes.

And those fallible men created an INfallible Church.

Right...
