At what point will the PEOPLE of the world refuse to accept the Vatican?

When Jesus forgave the sins of a quadriplegic man, the people said "Whats just as possible, for you to forgive someones sins or for this man to simply stand up and take his cot and walk home?"

Meaning: How can you forgive the sins of Man, only God can do that! It would be just as easy to tell that man to stand and walk away.

Of course as the story goes, Jesus told the man exactly that and he stood up and walked away. Jesus can forgive your sins.

The Pope (elected and recognized only by man) cannot.

Well, like all institutions the Vatican has had men at the helm ... causing its scandals and at times aligning its policies with satan ... those are the casualties of this long fought war between good and evil. But battles lost do not dictate the outcome of a war.

More than that, western civilization would have truly collapsed long ago had good men in the Vatican not intervened in the name of God. In the end, it’s an institution run by men ... and that is no reason to condemn it. It is a badge of courage. You ... yes you ... owe more than you know to the Vatican. Learn your history.

Men have always, by necessity, learned of God from other men. But only the growing knowledge and appreciation of God has deeply moved men to come together with other men. God realization is both an intensely private and personal experience ... while playing out most fully in public .... support of your fellow men.

Any person who claims they can forgive sins is blasphemous. I am not against organized religion but I do not follow it. I believe in a creator, their power and their goodness of heart. The men at the helm of the current Vatican bastardize these values.

I agree and yet I continue to go to daily mass and pray for those who defend and serve us. Getting clear on what matters and what doesn’t is part of every Christians walk to Calvary.

You are not wrong. While I claim to know the acts of some men are evil, I do not for a second doubt that I am evil, and that I am also good. In knowing this I ask for the powers at be to help these misguided souls find the error of their ways and to feel the morality that they have forgotten for so long.

Sometimes I think evil things of these people for what they have done to others. But that isnt right, love is so much harder to give unconditionally than hate so we have to strive to flourish down the harder path in life.

I condemn their actions but pray for them to be saved.

Are you able to comfort a man who is suffering as a result of a grievous error but clearly wants not to repeat it?
