>>>first of all, the Catholic church is the ONLY true, complete Christian church on earth<<<
If one ignores the blatant corruption of the Catholic church “priesthood” and the coverup of their sins by the hierarchy, and if one ignores the legacy of indulgences, political appeasement and the Inquisition, then one might be fooled into believing the Catholic church is “Christian”.
Catholicism ignores nothing. Have there been bad apples in the barrel?, you bet, but remember that the entire world, Catholics included, are sinners. The inquisition was really more of a political than religious matter. Remember, for the first time in history, someone threatened the belief system that was Christianity. The Catholic church was the only protector of Christianity at the time and took her role quite seriously. Were mistakes made???of course there were, but this was the first real threat facing christianity. You have little, if any, understanding of the protective role played by the Catholic church throughout the centuries. You quoted smoe biblical passages....thank the Catholic church that you have them. For 1500 years, the Catholics protected, compiled, hand copied, and saved the bible from any who would try to keep it from humanity. When the printing press came along in the 1500's, average people could, at last, afford a copy of the bible and fortunately, the Catholics had bibles which could be converted to the printed page. In the 1200's, 1300's etc, there were no protestants to save anything, but luckily for you, the Catholics made it possible for you, and in fact, the whole world to enjoy the word of God as compiled, edited, inscribed, hand written etc etc etc by them. say thanks!!!
