He did? Prove it. Prove it with scripture that Christ said God's word isn't perfect. I challenge you to prove it.

Did you read my response? It looks like what you do is pick out certain words and that's it. I know there is sexual abuse in some protestant churches. Who doesn't know it? The question is the extent.

You still haven't answered my question and are purposely ignoring it so you don't have to answer.

The catholic church was established by Christ not the "Catholic" church.

catholic (lower case c) meaning "pertaining to the whole Christian body or church"

You're quite the fabricator Radiance. I haven't seen anyone here defend sexual abuse by anybody.

One man's opinion is that there may be but that is something no one knows. All it proves is some protestants are as wicked as some Catholics which is no surprise.

Let's take it a step further. The pope is supposedly infallible and Christ's representative on earth. Why then does he continue to allow such rampant pedophilia in the Catholic church?

It's part of a larger argument against the papacy which is in the article.

Christianity isn't founded on the Catholic church. It's founded on Christ. Just because one is Catholic doesn't mean they can't be a Christian and there are many protestants who aren't Christians.

I didn't know that (didn't bother to look it up). Wow. Thanks for the info.

It's not gossip Radiance. Everything is backed up by God's word.

You should check out "Popery is contrary to Christ's Gospel".

Then provide a link so that we all can know. If its true we should all know.

I think what he's referring to is specific attire reserved for priests not merely a suit and tie.

I stand corrected!

On the contrary, the ones I know would certainly not back down because they have truth on their side. They're not the "in the rear with the gear" type.



Insult away I don't care.

I am reminded of Christian men such as Ravi Zacharias who has been in danger many times yet always maintains his composure no matter how or what questions are given to him. I have never once heard him or heard of him personally insulting anyone. I think of true warriors for Christ like William Tyndale, Martin Luther and many others who stood up to the Catholic church and it's false doctrine. Tyndale was burned at the stake by the Catholics for daring to think all people should have their own Bible. Those are men to admire.

We have it so easy here though that could change quickly in the future. Most of us have no idea what it means to suffer for Christ. They are living it. I pray they remain strong in their faith and never give in.

Good information on a corrupt system and its backed up by scripture. I didn't know that the pope's infallibility wasn't declared until 1870 - they voted on it and it wasn't unanimous.

Spurgeon said, “Christ did not redeem his church with his blood so the Pope would come in and steal away the glory. He never came from heaven to earth. He never poured out his very heart that he might purchase his people. That a poor sinner, a mere man, should be set upon high to be admired by all the nations and to call himself God’s representative on earth, Christ has always been the head of his church.” Spurgeon knew what the reformers knew, what any true student of scripture knows. The Pope stood at the top of an illegitimate system, particularly and specifically at the top of an illegitimate priesthood. And Spurgeon wrote this, “When a fellow comes forward in all sorts of curious garments and says he’s a priest, the poorest child of God may say, “Stand away and don’t interfere with my office. I am a priest. I know not what you may be. You surely must be a priest of Baal.” For the only mention of the word vestments in scripture is in connection with the Temple of Baal.

That doesn't erase the rampant pedophilia in the Catholic church. There is no excuse for it in any church.
