I'm bashing the same people you are--the evil people who have corrupted the inner workings of the Church. The main problem I see with Catholic theology is that it doesn't allow for error or wrongdoing--so it's going to be VERY hard for you to clean things up.

I will pray for your church. I love much about the mystery and beauty of your religion, and Catholic people are, above all, GOOD people. It's my fervent prayer that we all end up in the same heaven someday, laughing about our stupid fights here on earth. But since I cannot agree with every doctrine or action that the church takes, I must remain "protestant." In fact, your own faith permits me to do nothing else!

I agree they need to be weeded out and I have confidence they will be.

This is not a true statement. If we sin or make errors in judgement, we have the sacrament of reconciliation.

I have no issue with people who disagree with Catholicism. My issue is with those who misrepresent our teachings and then state those misrepresentations as a fact. This is what you did with your previous post. Perhaps if you understood our doctrines you wouldn’t be so hostile towards them.
