Does anyone think that the church has become corrupt and power hungry?

Question

And do you think that we (the people) should create a new church?

Answer 1

Sadly, yes... many are power hungry and corrupt, but I already have a church in my heart. I wish the church in my heart could be made tangable and shared with others, but I have come to the conclusion that that would be rather difficult. I don't think i'd be very good at making a church... I just don't have the know-how or the energy, but I do write everything down in a journal and I am writing a book.

Answer 2

I am alway open to a new church, one that focuses on the best in new spiritual ideas, and is looking for good inspiration from all possible sources. I would want its focus to be on this world, making it the best it can be. I like reincarnation, because it makes this world count a lot. The focus would have to be on inspiring people, to address the serious problems in this world, and make thing better for us all. The church should be open to research into the spiritual using hypnotism and dream studies. It should into meditation techniques, mind-body exercises and use Astrology and nature as spiritual tuning devices. I am prejudice, since I have developed a new Astrology system.

Answer 3

If you're referring to the Catholic Church, then I'd say that things are actually much better than they were in centuries gone by -- when the Church was much more afflicted with corruption and power-hunger.

Christ said that not even the powers of hell would prevail against His Church -- corruption and power plays are just two ways the powers of hell try to bring down the Church.

Answer 4

It depends on what you are calling the church. Men have become corrupt. We don't need a new church. What we need is to get into God's word.

Answer 5

Which Church are you speaking of?

Answer 6

For the most part, yes.

Answer 7

Yes and no.
"We", that is, tribal mentality, is the problem.
