Subject: When did the catholic church go wrong? |
Bible Note: Lisa Again I'm not defending the Catholic church. And your right there were many corrupt Popes, just as there are many corrupt leaders in various denominations today. The thing that worries me is what someone in one of the earlier quotes said about the reformation, “…in it's aspirations as well as what it's flaws (extrinsic justification and abandonment of Church Tradition for private interpretation)” If you notice in this thread everyone cites one aspect or another that is wrong with the Catholic church but few cite the same one. This is the picture we are presenting to the unsaved world. Everyone says their way is right and all the other denominations don’t have it quite right. If that person then asks about the Catholic church they will get hit with anything from Pope falsely claimed he was from Peter to unmarried priests. I really believe Christ intended His church to be in unity not just in words but in worship also. EdB |
