It would have to deny certain false doctrines which have prevailed for too long, and which are still taught to the Catholic faithful. They could start by admitting the Pope is not infallible, and the Bible is our guide. They could end the worship of Mary and the Saints canonized by the church. They could admit there is no special power in holy water, no necessity to pray for those already dead, no intercessory prayers directed to dead saints, no purgatory, no confusing doctrines created through Papal decree. And of course, to make the priesthood better and avoid many sexual abuses common in the past....allow priests to marry, and nuns as well. But I know that none of this can come about without the intervention of Providence.John Joseph Flanaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06596324816480709495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329600504016968888.post-21613062420063846862017-07-25T11:03:06.207-05:002017-07-25T11:03:06.207-05:00Some seem to find that wading into the Tiber today...Some seem to find that wading into the Tiber today is not as pleasant as the nostalgia of wading into the Tiber that flowed five decades ago.Carl Vehsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00348831096001668813noreply@blogger.com
