Don't know how seriously I'd take what Rood has to say. His credentials don't seem to be of the highest quality: http://www.apologeticsindex.org/687-michael-rood http://www.apologeticsindex.org/687-michael-rood
I wouldn't argue with the idea that the "purity of Jesus' teaching" has been lost, but I wouldn't look to Rood for the details. Michael Rood, a Messianic Jew, referrs to Catholicism and subsequent protestant religions as being a combination of the teachings of Christ, Yeshua, mixed with Babylonian Sun worship. In other words, the *purity of His teaching* was quickly lost.

Lack of time doesn't allow me to go into this further but offhand, I'd say that the whole concept of sin in RC theology has serious flaws, the moe serious being limited in scope. A more inclusive concept would be "bad karma". http://www.helpersoftheholysouls.com/purgatoryqa.htm http://www.helpersoftheholysouls.com/purgatoryqa.htm
