The sex scandals that broke in about 2002 made the perfect opportunity for Catholics to give up a broken church structure and join another church committed wholly to the Lord. All too few took the opportunity to do so. But—hey!—now’s still a good time: Better late than never.
Pray tell, what church specifically in this Church you mention that “is wholly committed to the Lord”?
Nah.
He and His Church--- and I as part of His Church --- have permanent vows. He won't abandon His Bride.
Scandal or not, Christ established ONE Church to teach ONE truth. That is the Catholic Church. The rest is, well, just the rest.
I don't understand people that could so easily just junk their faith for an easier one..
yes, I said easier.....being a good practicing Catholic is a very difficult, very disciplined endeavor..( which is why I'm not a good one)..
so many churches seek to have fun, and kumbaya feelings...
I like Joel Osteen a lot, but what is asked of his congregation?....to be happy?...
is adultery forbidden?..is stealing?... abuse?...lying?..is anything forbidden?...
lets be real....the only major church that has spoken out against abortion has been the Catholic church....and up until now, we've been one of the few that have spoken against homosexual marriage, although with this new pope, that might change.....
I sort of look forward to the schism that is coming, between the false church and the real church of faith....
The percentage of Catholic priests accused of sex abuse is LOWER than among teachers in the public schools, and in most, if not all, among ministers in other Christian churches, and among rabbis. (Let’s not even get into imams.)
What is the name of this Christian church you seem to have in mind that Catholics ought to flee to? I.e., the church that doesn’t have sinners in it? Please, don’t keep this a secret?
And the various Protestant and non-denominational churches never have a hint of scandal or false doctrine/sarcasm.
In other words, you’ve never read or understood 1 Corinthians 5.
