Dear Catholic Exchange:
Can it be more evident that the Catholic church is exactly what the Bible says it is in Revelation 17?

Come out of her, repent and ask Jesus Christ to save you once and for all.

Dear Nick:
You know, you're right. I'm sick of belonging to a Church whose members sin. I'm ready to leave and ask Jesus to help me come out of her and be separate, touching no unclean thing.
Could you please direct me to a Church where nobody sins? Is it your Church? If so, then I take it you are sinless (since you are a member of it). And if your ARE sinless, then what's your secret? How do you deal with it when Scripture says, “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us” (1 John 1:8-10). That passage has always stumped me. It's like the Word is saying we're ARROGANT or something if we claim to be without sin. But that can't be what it really means since you belong to a sinless Church and you're not arrogant.
Please help me understand all this, because I'm itching to get out of this messed-up Church with sinners in it and into the Right Church: namely, the church without sinners that you belong to.
