Since you brought up the topic of “unbiblical”, that is precisely the enormous error the Catholic church is engaged in as an organization. If you want “biblical”, please enlighten us all where the support comes from for a separate country that mints its own currency (check out gold from the Vatican), sacerdotalism, mariolatry, popemobiles, relics, salvation by sacraments, genuflecting, confession booths with separating screens to keep the priests off the women/men/boys, the gold and gems, or a hundred other things this monstrosity claims is godly.

Further, there are specific biblical admonitions to avoid dozens of the things they promote: chanting with meaningless repetition, claiming they have seen apparitions, excessive reverence for men (Sainthood), etc.

And as #62 notes so well, there are now a lot of RCs on the SCOTUS and we shall now see if people who hold to Catholicism actually do anything close to what they claim to believe. I’m expecting another set of excuses headquarters will provide for this failure.

Most people believe that four of the Catholic justices (Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas) firmly support life, Kennedy MIGHT depending on the case and Sotomayor certainly doesn't.

As far as those who decided Roe v. Wade, the Catholic voted for death as did all three Calvinists.

Doesn't every church have this problem? The members who don't even attempt to walk the faith they profess. It's wrong and Scripture tells us very clearly that if they claim to be Christians they should be rebuked and church discipline applied. Our problem is we don't have any Christian Churches that are exercising the church discipline they are supposed to.
