The Church never provided evidence for this great need. All they could provide was candles to burn, steps to climb, statues to kneel before and pleanty of beads to play with. Huss, Luther and others tried to convince the Papa of this, but he would not listen. The rest of the history we know...and sadly extremists began to emerge supporting one or the other and many folk died, and some still. Northern Ireland is a classic example of what I'm talking about. And now Papa's worried about losing some of his flock to churches in Brazil that honour Christ? Why does he not reiterate what he was trying to say before...'there is no salvation outside of the Roman Catholic Church.' At least that would make people stop wondering why the Pontiff is getting upset over folks leaving. <BR/><BR/>Salvation and forgiveness can be found outside the Church of Rome, and many have found it by simply reading the New Testament under a tree somewhere. I was one who broke communion with Mother Church...and I will not be returning, for I am now in true communion with Christ my Saviour!<BR/><BR/>Lance Marchetti<BR/>Kroonstad<BR/>South AfricaLance Marchettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513574595703756735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828651772041473615.post-32555436975801082842007-05-10T15:42:00.000-05:002007-05-10T15:42:00.000-05:00Ah, yes...the "conscience is clean" quote...I was ...Ah, yes...the "conscience is clean" quote...I was getting ready to post on that article, but I've been a little busy dealing with all the comments on my "sex offender" post...it's been nuts...<BR/> Anyways...I love how people just flat out ignore the Pope and what he says. It's ridiculous. And the whole, "Who cares what's right or wrong? My conscience is clean" mentality is plaguing so many people today...it's so sad...<BR/> Good post!Delenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893036321616359439noreply@blogger.com
