For all the grilling of lupie about the Reformed church, of which you are not even a member, how about answering some questions about your own church?

Like why it allows child molesting priests to continue to serve as priests and represent Christ to the parishioners?

Why hasn’t the Catholic church defrocked those priests? Why the mentality of *Once a priest, always a priest?*. when Catholics scorn OSAS?

Why serve communion to pro-abortion politicians? Why doesn’t the RCC enforce it’s OWN rules on its OWN congregants before throwing stones at others?

Why doesn’t the Catholic church ex-communicate those who are in sin by supporting abortion and homosexual marriage instead of granting them Catholic funerals?

Why the double standard of expecting absolute perfection out of others and giving themselves a pass in their own corrupt and immoral behavior?

Or is it just too much a matter of *Do as I say, not as I do?*

Catholics who hold to double standards, giving themselves and their church a pass while condemning others for the same behavior are the epitome of hypocrisy.

Physician, heal thyself.

Nobody owes you any answers as we answer to God for what we do, not men.

Hardly grilling. I am not as vain as some and will seek to find answers if I do not know the answer and would like to find out. Ask away.

Do you know of any convicted child molesters in a court of law that still serve as priests? I don't.

See above.

Do you guys serve communion to pro-abortion politicians? I'll bet that your denomination does.

Why doesn’t the Catholic church ex-communicate those who are in sin by supporting abortion and homosexual marriage instead of granting them Catholic funerals?

You mean the Kennedys? We don't know what went on between them and their confessors. Luke 18: 9-14. We see the ones even here of FR that hang out in the front and those who hang out in the back, thankful to be in the presence of almighty God at all, instead of loudly proclaiming their own salvation.

Why the double standard of expecting absolute perfection out of others and giving themselves a pass in their own corrupt and immoral behavior?

You keep saying that you were Catholic then say things like this. You must pardon me if I find it difficult to believe.

Or is it just too much a matter of *Do as I say, not as I do?*

You see?

Catholics who hold to double standards, giving themselves and their church a pass while condemning others for the same behavior are the epitome of hypocrisy.

Agreed. Same goes for others who misrepresent the Faith.

Physician, heal thyself.

Only with God's help. I cannot declare my own salvation.

Nobody owes you any answers as we answer to God for what we do, not men.

That is one of the most arrogant statements I have ever seen on FR.
