Rome builds its faith on the shifting sands of repeated sacrifices for endless recursive sins. Rome ignorantly presumes its "alter Christus" can call Christ down from heaven and serve Him up as so much chopped liver on a cracker.

You know... after reading post after post of the vile sewage that spews forth from your keyboard I am confirmed in the knowledge that of all the sin filled creatures who have ever slouched across this earth there is none more deserving of the eternal fires of the devils' hell than me. There's no blasphemy, no matter how bitter in appearance or putrid in the mind, that I can witness in horror that makes me one iota more worthy of salvation than anyone else. No obscenity vomited out of the mouth of another that can draw out of my mouth the words of the pharisee: "God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are".

Almost, almost but not am I convinced of total depravity. Almost am I convinced that Baptism does not regenerate. Almost am I convinced that there is no God. But for the One, Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church... but for the Holy Mother who leads me to Jesus Christ and bids me kneel at the foot of His Holy and life giving Cross singing "I saw water flowing from the right side of the temple, alleluia; and all they to whom that water came were saved, and they shall say, alleluia, alleluia!"

And then she drags me stumbling to the Tomb

Rejoice, heavenly powers! Sing, choirs of angels!
Exult, all creation around God's throne!
Jesus Christ, our King, is risen!
Sound the trumpet of salvation!

Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor,
radiant in the brightness of your King!
Christ has conquered! Glory fills you!
Darkness vanishes for ever!

Rejoice, O Mother Church! Exult in glory!
The risen Savior shines upon you!
Let this place resound with joy,
echoing the mighty song of all God's people!

And we're supposed to trade that in for a second hand Genevan yugo death trap? Good grief no!

For that: Praised be Jesus Christ, now and forever!

LOL! You certainly have a way with words! ;-)

So then, you owe a debt to Mary for your salvation?
