What we're doing is trying to clean out the Church, not abandon it.
I didn't abandon this country when that POS Clinton or that POS Obama was elected, nor abandon the concept of a federal republic. I'm not going to abandon the doctrine of the Catho9lic Church just because there are POSes in it, either.
That’s exactly what Martin Luther tried to do.
What did the church do in response?
Tried to kill him.
Good for you; Hail fellow well met!!!
"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours."
--Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)
