We have had some bad apples, but typically a married priesthood changes the dynamics. It is more often affairs that arise. Harder to do institutional cover up (not impossible, I'm sure it has happened) simply because while we are hierarchical, it revolves around the synod (group of bishops) not a single all-powerful Bishop (i.e bishop of Rome).<br />Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08302043608284733000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-89339322762533093522017-06-20T06:49:20.907-05:002017-06-20T06:49:20.907-05:00I would caution you.

Her family is devout. Anytime I ask or attempt to discuss the Church, past errors, organization or priest celibacy, it is greeted with hostility, as though I am attacking their core beliefs. It is much like using logic and reason with a Bernie Sanders fan. As an old combat Marine, I often broach taboo subjects and say inflammatory things like, "why is that?". Since I care for loved ones who happen to be Catholic, I stay away from this subject. To them, any fault of the church is just a cost of doing business, compared to the good that it does.

I'm at the point that I attend mass, but otherwise try not to get involved, or count on the church for much beyond dispensing the sacraments. <br /><br />I can't see how exposing corruption in the church could damage the faith of anyone familiar with church history. We've had popes that were the sons of previous popes for gosh sakes.

Some things, such as the thing about the Mafiosi and the RCC's inability to really speak to the problem with any moral authority might be OK, but don't think that even that would be a good use of your time.<br /><br />Frankly, I think the effect on your blood pressure would not be beneficial.<br /><br />Frankly, the RCC has been shot through with sexual sin for centuries. The Lord said there would be "tares" and they would be dealt with in the end. I am not saying that the various protestant denominations are sin free in this regard. In fact, as the "mainline" denominations slide further and further left, they are abandoning the biblical standards on sexual purity as well.<br /><br />As time has moved on, there was always at least one denomination/group that upheld biblical standards. It appears that evangelicals are the end of the road as the SBC seems to be in the first stages of abandoning such things and the Pentecostal denominations seem to have reached the same stage. <br /><br />The question was asked about the time of Christ's return to the earth "will He find faith in the earth?" Looks like the answer now will be "very little." The end seems near and I say with the Apostle John "Even so, come Lord Jesus!"Quartermasternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-17799229766950382172017-06-19T16:31:45.325-05:002017-06-19T16:31:45.325-05:00It's up to you, especially as this isn't p...It's up to you, especially as this isn't paid copy.
