No Hope in the Pope.

This Pope is one who is trying to push the RCC closer to being so inclusive that gay marriage will be acceptable in the near future for it's members. He's been one of the worst pontiffs in my lifetime.

In this we see the foundational difference between the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) and most evangelical churches (most notably IFBs). Evangelicals typically (although many are starting to fall away) hold to the truth that the scriptures, as we have them in the Bible are the sole authority for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (Granted, many denominations open the door to corruption by using the phrase "in the original manuscripts", but I am speaking generally).

Verses like the following are meaningless to the RCC:

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Revelation 22:18-19 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

The RCC believes that the Scriptures along with the tradition of the Church are dual authorities over doctrine and practice. What an open door for corruption!

For proof just compare the KJV 10 commandments (Exodus 20) to the 10 commandments in the Roman Catholic Catechism. 

See if you can find anything that resembles Exodus 20:4-6 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

The RCC removed this 2nd commandment and split the 10th into two: Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife & Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods.

Of course, y'all probably already know all the above, but if the RCC is willing to corrupt this most foundational commandment, written in stone by the Lord's own finger, can it really surprise anyone that they will open the door for ANY kind of corruption?

When I see articles like that in the OP I typically just shrug my shoulders, say "that's no surprise", and then perhaps wonder what they'll cede to the devil next.
