Oh, the biblical illiterates.

I'm gonna call you on this one Euty -Ad Hominem.

But, I still like you.

[quote] You see just because something went wrong (indulgences, pedophile and homosexual priest) doesn't mean we should deny the Holy church.[/quote]

Holy?

The hypothetical church, holy in concept, sodom in practice.

Jesus had a word for those sorts, HYPOCRITS.

Did you find the time to read Matthew 23 yet?

Euty,

The Catholic Church:

Feeds,
Clothes,
Shelters,
and Provides Free Health Care to more people than any other institution or organization on the planet. That doesn't seem holy in practice to you?

That is totally inappropriate.

If this starts to go towards blaspheming the Holy Father, I'm reporting it for removal right away. There is no proof of that and such slander is a sin as grievous as murder.

Don't mess with PaPa!

Did you find the time to realize that just because Jesus witnessed something going very wrong inside the Jewish church he didn't deny the truth of the prophets.

Jesus witnessed people taking advantage of others who were in need of animals to be sacrificed. Did this lead him to deny sacrificial offerings all together, no. He got angry about the sins of the sellers not the teachings of the temple. For He himself became a sacrifice for all man.

I have read Matthew 23 plenty of times. Again Jesus is talking about the sins of the pharisees, about how some of them take advantage of people. They have bishops who do this, priests, pastors, rabbis, etc.. But not once does Jesus shoot down the teachings of the prophets that the Jews hold sacred.

You can get angry at some of our priests and bishops all you want, because I am with you in some cases, but to deny the truth is a different story all together.

I think Jesus would applaud your unapproval of priest who set bad examples, but he would never tell you to leave the truth, because that would be contrary to the example he set as a life long Jew.

I don't mean you X --I just hate it even being written as a jest, and I fear, inviting the type of comments, which are so grievous...

sorry, not clear.

I'm still confused. I meant to call Eutychus out on his/her remarks about the Church.

:-/

I guess I wasn't clear.
