It seems very telling to me that with all the extremely serious questions of faith raised in this thread, Naldo chooses to zero in on the heirarchy of the catholic church. Not the slvation or lack there of of Catholic Souls, not the defining qualities of Christianity, not who is judge and who judged for all eternity, just the earthly credability of the current leadership.

Now this is where Nald chimes in "Well YOU must SUPPORT child molestation"

Or maybe if he's not all agitated

"So you don't think there support of Child Molestation makes their credability questionable?"

So. Let me say plainly, if you want to start a thread on what the crisis within the Catholic Church means to it's Members, do so. I'll give my two cents. As large as that issue is right now, the questions raised here what beliefs merited salvation in the Christian Tradition.

Unless of course you read only the very begining of this conversation, about fasting and all. If so, you must of missed where a number of non catholics said they intended to fast. There is wwhole lot more happening n every level of this thread than a question of this popes Credability level at this moment. Or did you think Catholics were slaves?
