The glitter of this rock captures the ambient light and we see a nugget of pure gold weight about one ounce, value as of 3/31/10, $1,114.00. But glitter as it might what is glittering so bright is an ounce of iron pyrite, fools gold, worth about $1.00 retail.
What we hear about the Catholic Church is of similar ilk. True, some renegades did the unthinkable and molested children and they should have been punished for it. True, some leaders kept it secret and that too was wrong.
But what people are trying to do, with the help of Satan is to discredit the Church completely. This they cannot do for the Church derives its holiness not from its leaders or members but from Christ himself. The devil knows that he has to defeat the Church in these last days or he will be forever defeated. Alas, Christ's victory has already been won. He has promised that the Church will be protected by the Holy Spirit until the end of time.
So I advise enemies of the Church to stifle their glee becasue the Church that Christ founded and protects will not be so easily disposed of.
