I didn't mean any offense so I'm glad you didn't register any. I guess the most repulsive things about the Catholic organization is the idea that the Pope is any more than just another mere man. Even elders and deacons in the Lord's church are just members of mankind like we all are and as such we ALL must obey God since He created us. Some of the other atrocities were indulgencies and similar actions that they perpetrated in the past. I guess I would have to plead ignorance on their current positions on these issues but they too must bring themselves into total submission unto the Lord in ALL aspects of Christianity. Blessings to you. Country Girl |

"Atrocity" is a strong word. Why don't we hang on to it for people like Haman, Hitler, and Hussein? Given the opportunity, men take advantage of others for financial gain using religion as a cloak to hide their true intent. Indulgences were a serious problem, and a lot of money was garnered by the practice. Today, on the other hand, people are bilked from their own living rooms. I do not recall reading anything in the current Roman Catholic catechism about the practice of selling indulgences. However, these folks on TV do not appear to be associated with Rome, at least in any overt ways. (I'll never forget hearing as a kid about "prayer towels" and "John the Baptist shower curtains.") I don't think we should ignore history, but lets discern the merits of a philosophy/theology on what they say, how consistently their adherents behave in the light of what they say, and how it all lines up with scripture. |
