I've heard it on both sides to be fair. Sometimes I wonder if Christ is just shaking his head at all the bantering, thinking to himself, “Yep Dad, it was the right decision to go on down and save these poor saps. (My attempt at humor).
All mainline protestant denominations are losing folks just as the Catholic church. Satan loves to attack the church from within as we've witnessed so many times.
The muzzies, Mormons, Protestants, Catholics, Jews all believe they are the only way. Scripture tells me that Christ is the only way and that men are sinful,prone to messing it all up.
How true, evidenced throughout my personal walk with the Lord.
I happen to revere the Catholic church, just so you'll know.
My heart hurts to see so much turmoil within the church.
Mans sinful nature and poor decisions throughout the leadership perpetuated really awful situations. Not exclusive to the Catholic church to be sure.
Often wonder how one reconciles with themselves knowing they've stripped bare the very faith they purport.
Tough stuff.
Beware! The first mistake people usually make when they can't determine who is right and who is mistaken, with the inadequate discernment they have at that time, is to declare everyone mistaken to some degree, instead of seeking to enhance and refine their ability to distinquish wolves from sheep....
