Does Joe Ratzinger think the papacy is mearly part of a tetrarchy? at the table of the Holy Covenant, a horn among equals, a corner found to be proceeding from the Oracles of God through Jesus Christ our Lord? We know that you have conducted masses in the name of Benedict the XVI, and will produce out of Gog-Magog that final dominion: we know that will not happen until God puts it in the heart of the ten kings to bring down Mystery Babylon. Until then, the harlot rules over them.

I don't think I do either.

Is it consistent for a servant of the Lord to denounce the R.C.C. as the very seat of the Antichrist, as Paisley has rightly done in countless sermons and articles over the years and then turn around and offer his commendation to those who practice that "faith" ? ? ?

My, My Lance, I'm surprised you didn't use that great authority off Wikipedia,

When I spoke of sin, I was not referring so much to grave matters like murder and adultery, but to all the minor sins that we commit all the time: impatience, unkind words, little lies, and such things.

Each one of these is a blot on the soul, and while not deserving of hell, they are all hateful in the sight of God.

Never would such a church or it's members enter heaven, read your bible Lance. Nothing sinful will enter,

And it's true that nothing sinful will enter. Yet in your theology, people can enter heaven laden with sins.

According to Protestant teaching, as I understand it, those who believe will be covered with a cloak of righteousness, hiding all the putrid sins underneath, as though God won't notice.

According to God's own word, the 'church', or body of Christ, is NOT the RCC, but is instead a people from every tongue, tribe, nation {Rev. 5:9}.

I have no doubt he wanted to protect Catholics and even more especially the priests.
Anyway, I'm not a mind reader of dead men,

The first article says nothing about the pope or the Vatican.

If in fact, Peter was in Rome then Paul screwed up and disrespected Peter by not addressing him in his epistle to the Romans.

Lance, who do you follow, the pope, or Jesus Christ?

I follow Jesus Christ, and therefore I follow his vicar (representative) on earth, successor to St Peter, the Rock on which Jesus founded his Church.

At the same time, I know that you do not accept that the pope is the vicar of Christ, or that he is the successor of Peter. And you probably do not even accept that Peter is the Rock.
