1 | Scandal of the Catholic Priesthood | Jude 1:4 | Hank | 52632 | ||
Brian, Your metaphor of the scandal in the Catholic Church being a mirror of today's society may be accurate to some extent, but it strikes me as being a terribly weak argument -- a weak attempt at rationalization and an even weaker attempt to justify it in any way, if that is what the purpose of your metaphor is.

Jesus commands us to be salt and light, leading the world to Him; it is to be a beacon, not a mirror. --Hank | ||||||

Sorry, Brian; perhaps I drew the wrong inference from your post. To a certain degree all Christians take the rap for the the offenses of the few and the beneficient influence of the church universal is likewise diminished, so it is not peculiarly a Catholic problem. Christians from every communion need to pray and continue always to pray for the peace, unity, and purity of Christ's church. Fraternally yours in Christ Jesus, --Hank | ||||||
