SO THE POPE IS VISITING THE USA.
HE ADDRESSES CONGRESS TOMORROW - SEPT. 24TH.
HE IS GETTING A HUGE RECEPTION.
YOU SEE YOUNG PEOPLE AND CHILDREN GREETING
HIM LIKE A MOVIE STAR.
SURE HE MAYBE A NICE ENOUGH GUY, DOWN-TO-EARTH, AND HUMBLE..... I AGREE HE IS.
BUT NEVERTHELESS HE REPRESENTS A "CHURCH" OF "CHRISTIAN RELIGION" THAT HAS 2,000 YEARS OF HISTORY, AND WITH A LITTLE TIME SPENT ON THE INTERNET, OR AT A LIBRARY, PEOPLE CAN SEE THE TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, UNBELIEVABLE, SHOCKING, THINGS DONE BY THIS CHURCH.
A FEW PEOPLE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS, HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT IT ALL IN NO UNCERTAIN WAY.
TWO BOOKS: ONE IS ON THE TERRIBLE THINGS DONE BY POPES DOWN THROUGH HISTORY; THE OTHER IS MORE GENERIC AND DEALS WITH THE TERRIBLE THINGS DONE BY THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH DOWN THROUGH HISTORY.
IT BLOWS ME AWAY HOW THERE CAN BE STILL OVER ONE BILLION ROMAN CATHOLIC MEMBERS IN THE WORLD TODAY!
I GUESS THEY JUST DO NOT READ HISTORY; AND OBVIOUSLY DO NOT READ CHRISTIAN HISTORY.
BUT SO IT MUST BE.
THE CHURCH THAT JESUS BUILT WOULD BE THE LITTLE FLOCK [THE GREEK MEANS VERY LITTLE FLOCK], AND THE SALT OF THE EARTH, SPRINKLED HERE AND THERE.
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN? IF SO WHERE DO YOU STAND? ARE YOU PART OF THE HUGE CHRISTIAN CHURCH [ONE MOTHER CHURCH THAT HAD DAUGHTERS COME OUT OF HER] OR A PART OF THE SMALL, BASICALLY UN-NOTICED, VERY LITTLE CHURCH.... BUT STILL THE ONE THAT JESUS BUILT, RULES, AND GUIDES?
