Sure, that was to be expected sooner or later.

I thought about your points as I was posting my first response. Can you separate the Catholic religion from the institution? Can you say I believe in the Catholic religion, but renounce the pope and the papal hierarchy? Maybe - but I think its called being a protestant.......</strong>

I think we can separate the Catholic religion from any particular Catholic institution. There are certain Catholic doctrines that each church and priest is supposed to obey, but if some churches/priests violate them, it does not reflect poorly on the Catholic doctrines themselves, only on those churches/priests. Alonzo was speaking more in reference to that, methinks.
