Yes, it's funny that RnMomof7 had said “but the saved do not care what Rome says about anything.”

yet seems to care quite a lot, posting even during the Bowl!

Is Rn one of the shaved?

If yes, then why you care so much about what “Roam” says?

What is funny is that they forget that the English word priest comes (from wikipedia, but verifiable in other etymological books/sites):
The English word priest is ultimately from Greek, via Latin, presbyter, the term for "elder", especially elders of Jewish or Christian communities in Late Antiquity. It is possible that the Latin word was loaned into Old English and only from Old English reached other Germanic languages, giving Old Icelandic prestr, Old Swedish präster, Old High German priast, via the Anglo-Saxon mission to the continent. Old High German also has the disyllabic priester, priestar, however, apparently derived from Latin independently, via Old French presbtre. The Latin word is ultimately from Greek presbyteros, the word for "priest" being Latin sacerdos, Greek hiereus.


The problem is that the anti-Catholics see only English and don't realise that the English word priest = Elder(presbyteros) as mentioned in the Bible.

And what is funny is their quoting of the letter to Timothy — as if they fire “elders” or “pastors” who are bachelors or widowed or divorced.
