The thing that bugs me about the complaints are that there are probably a couple of truly problem practices and then a lot of things that are just not our way and we label it all "bad."

The one I mention is one of the latter. Scripture clearly tells us to confess our sins one to another. And no matter how you want to nuance it, the scripture also makes reference to man forgiving sins. Maybe not like the priest is believed to do it.

But is that according to the true RCC doctrine, or the dogma of the people?

In any case, in the only RCC mass I ever attended, the priest clearly stated that the forgiveness of sins is only through the once for all sacrifice of Christ. So maybe we are busy acting like initial salvation is all that there is, therefore the other items are irrelevant. That would be a Lee position for sure. His "full gospel" was far from full. More like gutted.

Put 'NeeLeeWee religion above Christ'. Truth hurts.
Put 'Economy of God doctrine above God'. Truth hurts.

There are also some striking parallels between the LC and the RCC, such as the notion of papal infallibility. We all know who the LC 'paper pope' is. Not surprisingly, he is deemed to be infallible and anyone who thinks otherwise can expect to be excommunicated.

So I hope the other unregistered poster can explain to us why the LC is so much better than the RCC.

The few times I tried to "confess my sins" to the LC brethren they were clearly uncomfortable, listening to my imperfections. They weren't programmed to deal with human imperfection. Just call on the Lord, three times loudly, and it will all go away.
