The thoroughly apostate and utterly corrupt condition of the Church of Rome as proclaimed by its history down to the end of the fifteenth century,* was necessarily accompanied by absence of all spiritual sanctity and power whatever may have been the arrogant assumptions of the Church as to authority in spiritual affairs.

As a faithful Catholic, I am placing this thread on IGNORE If you are Catholic, be aware that this thread contains slanders about the Catholic Church. We should not reward invincibly ignorant anti-Catholic bigots by engaging them in futile debate. Therefore, please do not respond to any of the lies about the Catholic Church contained on this thread. Saint Paul pray for those who hate the Church.

Don’t feel bad — they consider everyone but themselves apostates. You are in good company!

Man, even us Lutherans were more out to reform the Catholic Church than to destroy it. Pretty harsh words from our Christian Mormon friends; I didn’t realize you were “utterly corrupt”. I seem to recall a minor thing called the Crusades that seems to have saved Christendom during that period, maybe Old Joe Smith missed that..
