At the event, the president expressed criticism at certain aspects of the Catholic faith and questioned the concept of original sin, which he views as a ploy used by the church to make money from baptism that supposedly wipe away the stain of original sin from newborn infants.
That is not the teaching of Orthodox Christianity (We people are born innocent). The Catholic Church (which broke away from the teachings of the Apostolic Church which canonized the Bible in order to counter false teachings about them) came up with that condemned newborn nonsense (along their early path to Social Justice activism no doubt. /s ) Now it's just white babies they deem born with sin! /s
It's little wonder the powers that be have no problem with the slaughter of Orthodox Christians in Syria by ISIS, wouldn't want clarification on something that would make people question what they've been led to believe about Christianity. (Gnostics, Evangelicals, SJW Jesuit schooled Catholics please don't construe my comment as an invitation to turn the thread into a debate, just stating a fact).
