the king's words were pretty clear and his deeds even clearer

samuel, samson, job, daniel, noah, the list goes on and on of the patriarchs of the Church who opposed corruption, and in many cases, corruption within the earthy congregation

and the modern stories such as the woman who threw her chair at the priest over the church leaders obeying the king's mandate to see him as the king is another example

the modern papacy is a corrupt organisation with leaders now who are literally whitewashing the crimes of the abuser priests among them, which means their real king is not the same one who hung on the cross

The Abuse scandal and other crimes are Millstone material. Better for them to be cast into the sea than to lead people from God. But in spite of evil leaders, God's promises, God's kingdom, and God's people remain. Just like I. The Old testament, no matter how the Israelites sinned, including idolatry, God maintained His end of the bargain. He never took his covenant from them.

Likewise he literally and plainly gave his New Covenant to his church. That they have at times done badly does not remove the promises. He cannot withdraw them. He is the King! It is his Kingdom, He can punish his own but he won't renounce it.

We are the church, the ecclesia, the assembly of believers, NOT "The Catholic Church." The arrogance of that name pisses me off.

Any organization that hides child abuse needs to be ripped out at the root and burned, nevermore to let evil fester in dark corners, or even in the wider halls of the institution.
