No the RC Church exists for one thing only: To increase the bottom line. It is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet.
It also has a history of hiding/moving “management” to minimize exposure to adverse publicity

As I said, that “canard” is straight from the LCMS website. Such a pretty way to call me a fibber.

**To increase the bottom line. It is the oldest most profitable multinational corporation on the planet.**

Do you want to supply some dollar figures there.

The Catholic Church supports hospitals, schools, relief efforts, higher education, liturgy, interpretation of the scriptures, and on and on — even the retired priests and nuns.

I believe your information is in error.

you asked for it THIS ONLY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE Please feel free to address the understated 30K cases of molestation.....

Abuse During Modern Times

From 1960 to 2010, more than 30,000 people in 25 countries have come forward and accused priests of molestation. The scandal has only really become widely known since about 1985, when Father Gilbert Gauthe pleaded guilty to 11 cases of sexually abusing children in Lafayette, Louisiana. He served 10 years in prison.

Since then, more and more attention to the pedophilia in the church clergy caused even Pope Benedict XVI to say he is “deeply ashamed” of the U.S.’s abuse scandal and will exclude pedophiles from the priesthood. In a letter to the Irish Catholic Church in March 2010, however, Pope Benedict blamed the scandal on “fast-paced change and secularisation”, saying that it led to a moral decline. (Newenham) However, this contradicts directly all documents through the ages stating that pedophilia on behalf of the clergy has been a problem throughout the ages.

Then why did you start it instead of talking about the possibility of Lutherans and Catholics being united on certain issues?

Don't forget to add to that the support of Obamacare and illegal immigration

Ours did as well. I occasionally teased our priest asking him who wrote the sermon this week.

“The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod (LCMS) has also participated in the first 9 discussions with the Roman Catholic Church and will also participate in the upcoming 11th round. Unlike the ELCA, however, the LCMS has not come to an agreement with the Roman Catholic Church due to what the LCMS considers to be crucial differences in the understanding of faith, grace, sin, etc.”

What is the point of such a “dialogue”?

President Harrison, the LCMS, and Ecumenical Dialogue
Friday, July 12, 2013

LCMS, along with its sister church, Lutheran Church Canada (LCC), has developed good relations with the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA), publishing last year a joint statement rejoicing that they can jointly affirm core teachings (articles) of the Christian faith shared by our church bodies.

churches like the 6.1 million member Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus (EECMY), who earlier this year cut off ties to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the Church of Sweden, have begun seeking new relationships with the LCMS and other confessional Lutherans.
