When Jesus approached Saul on the Road to Damascus - He said to him: Acts 9:4-5 “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting ME?” He said, “Who are you, sir?” The reply came, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. Saul was persecuting Christ's CHURCH, yet Jesus chose to equate His very SELF with His...

I REST my case . . .

I'm not dismissing one single guilty priest or church official. I am simply pointing out to some of YOU who are living in denial that this problem is alive an well in YOUR churches . . .

No – not even “primarily”. The Catholic Church is simply the biggest target. The problem is far worse in the Protestant sects. Some scholarly, peer-reviewed studies put it as high as 38%. That’sTHIRTY-EIGHT PER CENT. Protestant author Philip Jenkins lays out the statistics in his book...

Sexual molestation has absolutely NOTHING to do with ecemenism with the Catholic Church - but thanks for that idiotic premise . . .

Probably the same as Protestants who attend their churches and close their eyes to all of the sexual abuse going on there. If you think this is just a "Catholic" problem - think again . . .

That would be a stretch, seeing as how I am a male poster . . .

Actually – your understanding of the Catholic position is in error. First of all – the Church is the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12, Col 1:18). Jesus equated His very SELF with His Church (Acts 9:4-5). He gave His Church, which is His very Body- Supreme earthly Authority, that WHATEVER His Church...

I suspect you’ve never slammed the door on anything but your own fingers. You’ve certainly never made valid case for anything on this forum – whether it was your usual anti-Catholic drivel or some other inane diatribe.

Another "intelligent" response from the Queen of Denial . . .

Well, first of all – it pertains to ANBODYwho chooses to regurgitate lies and myths instead of asking questions and researching their claims. Secondly – I didn’t count out that Scripture is authoritative – it IS. I simply stated what the Bible itself admonishes – that the Church is the final...

Translation: "You nailed me again - I have NO evidence of Catholics praying TO statues." That's what I thought . . .

Thanks for that PRIME example of why nobody takes you seriously . . .

No - it was a cowardly NON-answer . . .

WRONG. It's FACTIONALISM - and it's condemned in Scripture.

WRONG. I'll bet you can't give me the NAME of the Catholic apologist . . .

Another scholarly response . . .

I didn't say it was. The verses YOU posted are more a condemnation of the perpetual splintering of Protestantism . . .

Catholic doctrine is rooted in Scripture.

Again – I have the HOPE of salvation because I have cooperated with God’s grace and continue to. Because we have a free will, however, I could walk away from Christ at ANY point in my life and not return. I would then be LOST. I believe that if I were to drop dead right now, that I would be...
