The simple answer is that they don’t believe their Bibles, or Jesus’s Words, or the Words of the Prophets.

Look who's talking:

 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.  23 Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.

Says the dude who believes:

1. In Mary Worship (Exodus 20:3)
2. In a place called “Purgatory” (Hebrews 9:27)
3. Priests must not marry (Titus 1:6; 1 Timothy 3:4)
4. Extra fake and made up “traditions” (see my post above)
5. Apparitions of “saints” (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)

In other words....
You don’t believe The Bible and take man’s word over God’s.

Sad and pathetic and very Pagan.
