The point is, I HAVE done the research. You won't because it will not fit with your agenda. Nuff said....

Published?! Has any other professional reviewed your research, or are you alone your own "popess"...what then is the difference? Divine delegated Authority by Jesus Christ?

Obviously, more needs to be "said" and reviewed in your personal research into biblical truth...even the Pope you "hate" allows continue research and learning in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Stop the Hate. Investigate your Fear. Discover the Truth.

Many hate what they perceive of Catholicism,
not the Truth of Catholicism.

Style over substance.

One of the big movements in Christianity involves Protestants converting to Eastern Orthodoxy, to get back to the "true faith". If you know anything at all about the issue (I know very little), it's amusing to hear them spout off about a Catholic church that is 99% the same theologically as Orthodox churches.

Most religious disputes involving the so-called "high" churches involve splitting hairs, politics or turf battles.

Again, it's all mostly style over substance, but you have to admit having so many closet and practicing gays as Catholic priests is a big turn-off to a lot of people.

Research denotes investigating work done by other people on a certain subject. If it was not "research", it would be opinion. The truth is that the bible has been mistranslated, much edited, and changed to serve the male need for power and control. My research takes me to information of those who can read the languages (all three) and know of the history in which these books were written. Then I read the material guided by my relationship with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Even then, I still do not claim to know it all, but just a small part. I am always learning.

You've got too much time on your hands. Accept it, be a good person, live the right way and just live your life.

However, another Episcopalian leader, Doubleday of the Bexley seminary, said the Vatican's move felt like an exploitation of disaffected Anglicans.
"I think they're desperate for clergy," he said of the Catholic church.

The Catholic Church in the USA may be desperate for priests, but that is because our congregations are booming. The Episcopal Church however is clearly bleeding members--enough said.

I've been involved in a number of cults, both as a leader and a follower. You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader.
