We are awake. Many of us did not follow the teachings of the last pope.
I have yet to encounter a Protestant that has a deep understanding of the Catholic Church doctrine. They are so blinded by their irrational hatred of it they don’t actually look into it.
Funny enough in most Protestant vs Catholic debates the Protestant ends up converting. Matt Fradd (Pints with Aquinas) is one of the best Catholic debaters.
First off, props for being “awake” it’s a step up from death. But let’s get real: claiming you’re awake doesn’t always mean "awake" We got degrees of being awake. I'm happy many of you didn't follow the teachings of the last pope, but what about the one before him or him before him? My main point is actually not the dragon popes but the very foundation of the catholic church itself. The Catholic Church has a long history of scandals, think of the sale of indulgences in the Middle Ages, the persecution of protestants after the reformation and of course the different crusades or the more recent cover-ups of child abuse. These aren’t just missteps; they’re signs of an institution more invested in power than in truth. The Bible itself calls out such corruption. In Matthew 23:27, My point is could it be that the very institution is nothing more then a seat of Satan and if that's the case why not leave it and be you own church?
If you think the Crusades are unjustified then you defeated your own argument.
So Protestant churches are free from sin and corruption as well? Protestantism lead to progressivism bro.
Defiantly not this is why I'm not member of any protestant church I believe what I preach!!
Catholicism is much older than Protestantism. Given enough time, corruption grows in organizations. As far as child abuse goes, it was easier to sue the Catholic Church than other organizations because it was one big established group. However, if you look at schools, sport teams - there is a lot of child abuse but these are smaller groups to sue (think of Penn State). When you are young, being your own church doesn't work out very well. You need to learn things externally.
