nyj, Do you know if they have a vaild priesthood and sacraments.

Wols, But when you remember them are you required to confess them then if they are mortal?

How can they do this when the bible teaches and mainstream Christianity and even non Christian religions know this to be a direct sin against God's commandments? It’s like Murder, you can’t do it, it’s a sin. I know we have murder by abortion legal but I do not know of any mainstream...

Unfortunately that is what can happen why you stray from the magisterium.

Jason, there was hope and we always keep hope but when they did the women priest thing, it does not look good.

Why did other denominations come about? Becuse Jesus did not promise them the protection from the gates of hell prevailing against them, he promised that to Peter, not Luther.  We have free will to reject the truth. I can say something here because I am in the CATHOLIC section so no one...
