What good is *unity* when it enables sin in the camp?

And what "camp" are you going to have that doesn't have sinners in it, even in positions of great authority?

What do you think Luke 12:35-48 is trying to say? Why do you think it's in the Bible at all?

Unity is not an optional extra according to John 17:20-23.

It's disgusting that Catholics blow off the worst kinds of sins with that kind of reasoning. The *so who isn't a sinner* is NOT an excuse for homosexual clergy and sexual abuse of minors.

Sin in the assembly of believers is to be addressed WHATEVER it is. Any church that does not do that is being outright disobedient to the clear concise commands of God. The very Scripture that Catholics claim Catholicism gave us give clear, explicit instructions on what to do about sin in the camp. Why is your religion ignoring it?

As daniel1212 pointed out in an other place, *official doctrine* is one thing, but when it is ignored or brushed off, it goes to show what your religion really believes. As in James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

Just in case it never occurred to you, Romanism is showing exactly what it believes by it's actions, or rather inactions.

And you are too, by excusing their behavior.

*IF* it's true that those molesting priests are just sinners like the rest of y'all as you Catholics like to remind us, you need to find better company to hang out with, one that doesn't include child molesting, homosexual, cocaine using clergy.

And the big problem is that the hierarchy of the Roman religion enabled it and protected the sin instead of dealing with it appropriately.

I'm sure that if someone molested your kids or younger brothers or sisters, that you'd just excuse it away with that *Well, who hasn't sinned? No big deal?*

Right?
