I will try to keep it toned down. But yes, these are valid points. I do tire of explanations that the clergy are still sinners, as some sort of excuse. Yes - but the whole point of their existence is be salt and light. And we know what Jesus said to do with salt that has lost it's flavor.

I must say sadly, saying something is approved by the Vatican does not carry literally any weight anymore for me.

Essentially, we are wary of them, though we do not preclude the possibility of God working His love and Will in any way He chooses.

It's actually nice you guys post if there is a clean up. I used to post on another site's forums, and when posts didn't agree with their angle they would mysteriously "disappear" - and it looked very dishonest as it was not done evenly.

So hat's off to you!
