The Catholic church of the time was very corrupt, but also the only church in existance in that part of the world. They claimed that outside of the Catholic church, none could have salvation. That being said, I do think ongoing reform is needed at times when handled with as much respect and love as possible. However, I think our best tool is too explore how we can best live out the mission of Christ/function of the church, and invite others along with us. Jamie,
