Why do you think you can make such a determination personally? Why do you believe that this isn't simply evidence you worship your own mind instead of an external, objective God?
Complete misunderstanding of what Christ taught about the church. If Jesus walked into "St. Peter's Basilica" what would he say, "Oh my good and faithful servents, thank you for this!"??
edit- ok downvoters what do you think Jesus would say if he walked up in there?
Synagogue of Satan...while I do believe there are saved Catholics out there I do believe the Catholic Church as a whole are wolves in Sheep's clothing (for many reasons which would be an entire thread). Their sole purpose is to distort the truth and misguide believers from the true path.
There are still good men and women but the teachings of the Catholic Church are not in line with what is presented in His word.
100% look at Mar Mari Emmanuel as well as Vigano. The pope is all about power and control & everything else that is in direct contradiction of what the church should stand for. Amen
Agree, Most Catholics are so weak in understanding and the practice of their own religion that if they have Christ in their heart they are probably on the right side of things.
I can't judge the ignorant because in my own way I am not 100% right with God either. I put my faith in Jesus for the forgiveness of my own ignorance and failing as well.
Right...as none of us ever are. We will never be perfect but we still continue to run the race. But relying on some to intercede for you when we can simply pray makes no sense to me a long with all the ritual, power structure etc.
There are good Catholics out there; but again the foundation of Catholicism in my opinion is in direct conflict with what is actually in His word.
Our final authority on all matters must always be the Bible; not man's interpretation of what it says or personal beliefs.
The Catholic "Church" always has been, and always will be, a Satanic cult though. That's literally it's whole point. It's main practice is the ritual rape of kids
100%. He would bring the Catholic Church back into what it was supposed to be. Not this disgusting mockery of Christ. Satanic cult.
Blaspheming Christ's perfect Church isn't a very virtuous thing to do...
Based on this:
The Vatican/Catholic Church hasn't met this standard as long as I can remember.
Exactly
Why do you think you can make such a determination personally? Why do you believe that this isn't simply evidence you worship your own mind instead of an external, objective God?
Why do you exist?
How do you know you are not a figment of your own imagination?
Why do you have an opinion? Why do I have an opinion?
Sheesh.
Never has, never can, and so never will.

I think that if Christ is fully man, He'd appreciate beauty like all right-minded people do.
I also think that He'd prioritize greater virtues over beauty if need be, and offer correction where He sees error.
What I don't think He'd do is walk in and start telling everyone that they're "doing it wrong" for making beautiful things in His name.
I also think you worship your own mind over an external, objective God.
And for the record, I didn't downvote you.
If the church is perfect, then why did Christ scold 5 of the 7 churches in Revelation?

I think you are correct. I also think, if your managing to upset the Pope and be excommunicated, you are probably doing something right
Jesus overturning the tables in the temple and enraging the entire priest and banking class comes to mind
100% look at Mar Mari Emmanuel as well as Vigano. The pope is all about power and control & everything else that is in direct contradiction of what the church should stand for. Amen
I think that if you commit schism and then you get excommunicated for schism, that justice has been done.
Not that it exactly matters. Schismatics are excommunicated whether or not the Pope officially recognizes it.
