Your comment was that EX-Catholics are gays.

Now it's *cafeteria Catholics*?

Which is it?

The Protestant Churches with some 35, 000 varied beliefs have all fallen into disrepute with the ordination of gays, lesbians, married women… the list of doctrinal perfidy is endless.

Not any which follow Scripture. The denominations which do those things are also the ones which have ABANDONED Scripture as the Truth and the word of God.

They fall into that error because they AREN'T based on Scripture any more.

Interestingly, I note that the Episcopalian church, which does ordain gays and women, is also the same denomination which the Catholic church will accept into ITS priesthood.

Not to mention with the number of Catholic priests who admit to being gay themselves, no Catholic is in any position whatsoever, to point any fingers about gay clergy.

It is completely irrelevant whether the men is ordained being knowingly gay or is allowed to remain in the priesthood after being found out to be gay, which the Catholic church allows for.

No non-Catholic denomination that I've ever encountered which has clergy who are involved in immorality, allows that minister to remain credentialed and in the pulpit. So number of denominations notwithstanding, those many denominations are doing a better job of cleaning house than the one Roman Catholic church.

You keep confusing the teachings of the ONE Church founded by Christ and the lives of his disciples. The Church is not simply a hotel for saints but also a hospital for sinners. Read Hillaire Belloc’s ‘”The Great Heresies” and you’d be far more informed.
