I was going to write a post about a Catholic Church that recently denied authors Carol and Robert Curoe a chance to speak about their book “Are There Closets in Heaven?” The book is about the struggles that Carol’s father Robert (a staunch Catholic) went through when Carol “came out” as a lesbian.
I agreed with the church’s decision to not allow Carol and Robert speak at the church, but when I started listing the reasons for my affirmation I began to wonder if it really mattered anyway. I wanted to say some things that the church shouldn’t be, or allow, what is appropriate and what isn’t appropriate, and what the purpose and mission of the church should be. It was at this time that I had to ask whether the Catholic Church meets the criteria for a true church. If the Catholic Church doesn’t meet those criteria in the first place then any attempt to make it fit into the Biblical model , even if they are right in some instances, would be disingenuous.
My belief is that the Catholic Church does not meet the criteria for a true church. I will be endeavoring to explain my reasoning in the next several posts.

Wow, you’re really lame.
I, however, do admire your confidence in believing that you decide on what is appropriate or otherwise, furthermore, what ‘meets the criteria’ for a true church.
I suggest that you relieve yourself of your unhelpful judgments and direct time and energy into improving yourself, as you in dire requirement of such.
