What I have said is fact. The shame is on the church and those that let it continue to indoctrinate and harm the people in this world. I put my trust in Christ and not an institution.

I was born and raised Catholic then became Protestant, Church of the Nazarene in my late 30’s when I started going to Bible classes with a Pastor who had major in biblical history and I found out about the history of the Catholic Popes.

I did get a good upbringing in Catholic church and gave me a forever moral compass. However, I learned more with the Nazarene’s about a relationship with Jesus that I didn’t learn being a Catholic.

I will put my trust and faith in the Nazarene, Jesus.

What you have said is a combination of half-truth, distortion, and fabrication ... it is disgusting and repulsive and a disgrace.

You have contributed few facts. You have contributed diatribe. Applause.

Really?

Jesus said, "If he will not listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."

Jesus could have said, "If he will not listen to ME..." It follows with logical necessity that Jesus' Church teaches with His authority.

So are you really going to put your faith in Christ, and listen to His Church?
