Each generation has faced issues that are different to those before, your institution reliance on non believers is a joke and unnecessary, it is how it has become so syncretised over the centuries. If one is a real believer morals are the important thing, not pompous talk. They expose sin. Your institution is summed up by the last verse posted in post 88 was accurate. I mean your posts are seen by all.The reason I asked was because I wanted to know how the theory works in practice. We live in this world and have to face issues that were never even issues 2000 years ago. I wanted to know how one is meant to give account on issues with authentic Christian witness. Issues like the morality of IVF or the morality of contraception, stem cell or artificial intelligence technology, pornography. When someone says to you (or A New Day) what is the Christian position on these things, how do you give an answer, a witness? Just saying 'read the bible and you'll know' seems to me to be a poor answer in giving account.
Every response you've ever made to me since I arrived has been equally rude and snarky so don't try and pretend it's because of something other than I'm a Catholic.
Your posts points to RCs loving the victim role. Of course RCs never call non RCs heretics, haters, they are always soooooooo polite, never rude, bearing false witness, we non RCs have all felt the love of RCs for their neighbours.
