It’s not my Church.
It’s Christ’s Church: His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
My comment was directed to the pope , not you.
But I get your point.
Do you get mine ?
Catholicism is no body of Christ.
It is not HIS church.
Jesus didn’t tolerate sin in the seven churches in His letters to them in the book of Revelation. He took them out because they refused to repent.
No way he’s going to protect the drug abusing, child molesting, homosexual infiltrated religious organization that calls itself a “church”.
With its toleration of sin and complicity in the child abuse that they knew about and refused to address, and the homosexuality which has been a problem in the clergy for well over a thousand years, Catholicism long ago forfeited any right to identify as a church. Nor can it expect Jesus to protect it in its sin. That is absolutely contrary to the way Jesus addresses sin in anyone’s life.
Catholicism is big on confession and doing penance in the lives of its adherents, even to threatening them with hellfire, but gives itself a pass to the sin within itself. It expects and demands of people what is not happening at the clergy level. Nice racket if you can get it.
Catholicism may be being protected, but it’s not God protecting it, not until and unless they show the same repentance and turning from sin they demand of their parishioners.
Then you’re admitting you’re not Catholic?
It’s Christ’s Church: His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church
Catholicism is far from holy. If it were holy, it would not be filled with practicing, child molesting clergy, and a college of cardinals who elect a Marxist as pope, claiming he’s Christ’s representative on earth.
Holiness is obvious. It doesn’t exist in Catholicism.
If it does, show us where it’s evident.
Then why aren’t you submitting to the Pope of what you call Christ’s Church?
You’re not allowed to dissent from the Pope, ebb Luther.
This is funny considering you’re the biggest rebel against your religion’s ordained authority on FR, and yet you condemn others for what you yourself are doing. Your posting history is replete with articles you have posted attacking him.
You are not submitting to Pope Francis, who was duly elected by the College of Cardinals according to standard Catholic protocol, which is not an option for a practicing Catholic without putting their eternal soul in grave danger, and then condemn non-Catholics for doing the same.
If Jesus is truly protecting Catholicism, explain to us how the corrupt college of cardinals got into power and how they managed to elect a Marxist as pope. If Jesus is protecting Catholicism, give us some proof of it, because between Frankie and your corrupt clergy, it’s pretty hard to find any evidence of protection at all.
