The evangelical church of today is far from perfect, humans are fallen creatures and our bound to sin. But a person in a pastoral position has a higher set of morals he has to follow or he will be judged accordingly. That being said, if a baptist minister was caught doing a grevious sin he would be, a) turned over to the law or b)rebuked by the church and removed from his position. I think the fact that the RC vatican is not doing this points to a lack of disernment and ethics on there part. I agree schism is not what God intended for his church but at a certain point you have to ask yourselfe if it’s the biblical thing to remain in a corrupt church. Churches throughout history have had corruption and have needed to be cleaned just like how Jesus cleansed the Temple. Sadly this is overdue in the RC church so that the schisms of the past can be healed. Although after the original protestant reformation there was allot of reform done by removing the idea of indulgences and buying a position in the church. I’ve listened to some conservative priests speak on the issue and they agree that much evil has crept into the vatican but they also say that if a Pope is put into power who is willing to change things, there can be allot done.
The fact that there are weeds actually shows that the CC is the True Church!
