Besides, that’s just a red herring to avoid addressing the issue of the immorality and sexual abuse that is running rampant within the Catholic clergy.

Why did you change the subject?

The Catholic Church has many problems; they started when one of It’s first bishops (Judas Iscariot) betrayed the Son of God - and several Popes have been very un-Christian.

It is still one of the last bastions defending marriage as outlined by Christ Himself (opposed to divorce/remarriage), human life from conception to natural death, the male clergy as chosen by Christ Himself (apparently some “Christians” believe He was sexist, though He knew full well 2,000 years ago we’d be typing these very discussions at these very moments), and opposing homosexual acts as sinful. Branches of various Protestant denominations will have similar positions, but they aren’t accepted throughout the whole denomination itself.

The Catholic Church in the West is bleeding members because too many in the leadership have gone the way of Protestants (including Lutherans) on those core issues, though they remain official positions of the Church.
