the top cardinal of britian has resigned, cardinal keith o'brien, the archbishop of edinburgh, has given notice amid accusations by three priests that he made 'inappropriate contact' with them.
he will not be able to vote in the upcoming selection of the new pope.
the current pope has accepted his resignation.. like cardinal mahoney of the los angeles archdiocese, cardinal o'brien will be allowed to 'retire' receiving a nice pension and home paid for by hard working catholics.
Come on Cofty. I almost don't even want to reply.....
The catholic church is NOT responsible for the spread of poverty or aids, contrary to the beliefs of some.
Their teachings DO promote respect of life and marraige. They do promote the spreading of the true gospel.
Multiple partners and contraception is obviously at odds with the gospel.....sorry, I know that is not politically correct, but maybe it is correct anyway.
respectfully...even if it doesn't sound that way,

Core teachings of the RCC are oppressive
Dear Cofty, Please, an example of these oppressive core catholic teachings if you may.

early church fathers and their views?
Sorry, I don't know where those question marks came from. I copied and pasted that from the WTS website.

There are also many wonderful people in the Watchtower, in Scientology, in the Church of LDS, in Islam. They are all despicable organisations.
Cofty, I know of no orphanages, food pantries, hospitals or any other volunteer institutions that help the poor that are organized by the WTS, Scientologists , Muslims or Mormons. Perhaps you do.
I know of many sponsored and supported by the [Catholic] Church and it's members. Ordaned and lay people.
Respectfully,

Cofty, I respectfully disagree. There are many wonderful people in the Church who help the poor, the widows, the orphans and the destitude. One out of twelve is more than enough to bring ruin to anys' reputation.

I agree that way too many people think of the bible as the only authority.
My brother the [devout]JW will argue that the [catholic] church does not follow the bible and that they fell away from Jesus's true teachings by the early 3rd or 4th century. No specific date because the WTS has not given him that info.
When I tell him that the bible is a catholic book that was confirmed around 392 ad, he just has a very confused look.
The early church fathers [and their writings] were and are a treasure. Their teachings are confirmed in 2Thessalonians 2:15
NWT 2Thess 2:15 So, then, brothers, stand firm and maintain ? YOUR ? hold on the traditions that ? YOU ? were taught, whether it was through a verbal message or through a letter of ours

I pray that the new pope will address these issues that continue to compromise the church that Jesus himself started.
Reminds me of being in the Army. No matter how good your unit is, there is always some jerk who outranks you.
The only explanation that I can think of is that Jesus picked Judas as one of his twelve apostles.
Satan entered Judas [possessed maybe?].
If Satan could corrupt 1 out of Jesus's hand picked 12, how many of his preists, bishops, deacons, laypeople or popes has he corrupted?
1 in 12 seems like a legit number to me.

The truth is that ALL of the church fathers considered Jesus as God in the flesh. The trinity booklet is just another example of Watchtower lies.....in a long long list of lies.
Praise Jesus!
