Okay, so if Rome tells me that sodomy is okay and that priests are allowed to rape children and suffer no consequences, that must be the truth.

The Catholic Church has never taught this and it never will. The Church's teaching is clear on these issues.

If heresy such as this is ever put forward, it would contradict the Church's own teaching and would indicate that the Church had been hijacked by heretics. Judging by present circumstances, that may be happening.

For this reason, the Church's tradition is very important and Catholics use this as an anchor when the ship is passing through stormy seas such as currently.

So you’re telling me that Rome has NEVER taught in blatant contradiction to the Word of God before?

And isn't it amazing that abuse has occurred under 7! popes?? And isn't it amazing that the teaching apparently does no good, since multiple popes have allowed the gay infestation to continue at the Vatican?? And isn't it amazing that despite the teaching, many, many priests buggered boys? Many many leaders covered up the perversion?? What is officially taught and what is allowed are two different things.

I think there is a word for saying one thing and then doing another.
