There is nothing mundane about sin. Sin has corrupted man to his very core as we turned our backs on our Creator by placing our Pride over His designs for us as high priests of all creation.

The orthodox Christian view of the Fall is that in desiring to bend creation to our own will instead of being its caretakers, the entirety of creation began to literally fall apart and God in His infinite mercy introduced death in order to limit man's destruction.

That a politician or bishop, including the Bishop of Rome, is corrupt or does things which are against the design of our Creator is to be anticipated and is exactly why God Himself became incarnate of a Virgin and dwelt among us to be crucified and to give us a Church which would offer the Sacraments ordained by the Divine to bring us back to Him, without which we are "dead to sin".

Pardon pardon. Jesus never built the church nor did he ever advocate for one. This myth is in deep need of being busted.

Catholics everywhere need to realize that their church is nothing but a cartel. Blood sacrament and all.

Faith is and should be in your heart. You need no bishops interpreting the Word for you.

Matt 16:18 - Jesus: "You are Peter and upon this rock I will build my Church"

Matt 18:15-17 - Jesus: "Take your disagreements to the Church"

1 Cor 10:16-17 - Paul demonstrates that the bread and cup are the body and blood of Christ and "we, though many, are one bread and body; for we all partake of that one bread".

Eph 5:25 - "Husbands love your wives as Christ loved the Church"

Also, the consistent writings from the time of the Apostles for the first thousand years of Christian history via the Church Fathers would indicate that you are in error.

But by all means, produce your documentation from the first few hundred years of Christianity that shows how they were all essentially Baptist or whatever.
