A Church Which Abandons The Truth Abandons

As A Matter Of Fact, You Have Deficiencies In All Religions, But You Have Truth In All Religions.

Even Apart From The Image Of A Truly Merciless God That Contradicts Everything We Can Assume From What Jesus Says About The Either Of The Lost, Can We Be Surprised At A Time When Retributive Punishments Without An Opportunity Of Probation Are Being Increasingly Abandoned In Education And Penal Justice, That The Idea Not Only Of A Lifelong, But Even Eternal Punishment Of Body And Soul, Seems To Many People Absolutely Monstrous.

If Priests Were Allowed To Marry, If This Would Be An Optional Thing, And If He Could Have Wife And Children, He Would Certainly Have Less Temptation To Satisfy Certain Sexual Impulses With Minors.

In My View, The Catholic Church As A Community Of Faith Will Be Preserved, But Only If It Abandons The Roman System Of Rule. We Managed To Get By Without This Absolutist System For 1,000 Years. The Problems Began In The 11th Century, When The Popes Asserted Their Claim To Absolute Control Over The Church.

Humanity Today Possesses Sufficient Economic, Cultural And Spiritual Resources To Introduce A Better Global Order.
