The church Jesus divided. You may fully believe that God only speaks through a hierarchy, and when people were thrown out of the church for the horrid sin of objecting to the selling of grace, that God was behind this. Well, I don't. I see the one church as broken, not whole within the Catholic church, and then a bunch of heritics. I realize that we differ. I don't see denominational differences as critical; we differ there too. I know that denominations are becomming far less important. I'll give one last example. My two younger children have two sets of baptismal papers from one baptism. They were formally enrolled into the Methodist church and the Catholic church when they were baptised because the priest and minister who performed the ceremony both signed both sets of papers. to speak > of his embarassment "as a Catholic."

Its meaning is outside of the box you wish to remain in. :-) Dan M. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
