First, I am Catholic, and so is this other guy.
I responded to him and asked, "Do you remember how you felt when the first news about Catholic priest abuses in Boston broke, a couple of decades ago?"
He replied, "I was sort of numbed with disbelief."
"Okay," I continued, "and have you ever thought about how such a scandal could exist for so long, not to mention other scandals? Have you ever thought about the power structure at the top levels of the church administration that manipulated things to keep all the scandals a secret?"
"I guess I never thought of it that way," he replied.
"Well, " I said, "do you think that the the Catholic church is the only entity in the history of the world to have a power structure, and secret scandals, etc.?"
Silence.
"And so," I added, "by simple extrapolation, I am confident that a relatively tiny number of people in the highest positions among the governments, corporations and other institutions are all busy pushing their agendas, and protecting their secrets. And if that's true, it's probably just as true that an even higher level of controllers are orchestrating things to their advantage and to further their agenda."
Deer in the headlights stare.
And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch. Act 11:26
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 1 Peter 4:16
They are called that 3 times to be exact and by no other name.
You seem to think Catholism defines Christianity but that is far from the truth.
That wasn't the apostles that created catholicism Rome did that. The head of Rome became the head of the church. Constantine is the big one who merged early Christianity with paganism to form Catholicism.
Fitting you cry out in pain as your attacking.. Your words betray you.
Ah your crying in pain and referencing fellow members in hopes of garnering support from the collective. I think they are beginning to realize it's much bigger than that.
Haha jokes on you. I love eating crayons and the ink in the smell good markers!
