A little advice: Don't get your theology from wikipedia. It's hardly a mystery that you're so confused. And you wonder why I said your posts are so easily debunked . . . Once again, the term Roman Catholic Church is not referring to the 19 other Rites that help make up the Church - and who...

Ummmm, NOT according to the Early Church Fathers . . . A little over 100 years after Matthew wrote his Gospel, Irenaeus wrote the following: Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews IN THEIR OWN DIALECT, while Peter and Paul were preaching in Rome and laying the foundation of the...

Sooooo, you're down to using the much-debunked Loraine Boettner's list in your link?? Good grief - this is precisely why there is so much abject ignorance among Protestants as it pertains to the Catholic Church. Allow me to educate you: First of all - there is NO such thing as the "Roman...

I apologize if I was abrupt. I thought you were baiting me.

What statistical analysis?? I simply pointed out that you were dead wrong - which you are - about there being more than ONE Catholic Church. The Polish Catholics, Independent Catholics, SSPX, SSPV, et al are not part of the Catholic Church. They are dissident groups that broke away from the...

No - I understood perfectly what you were trying to say. It's just that you are mistaken. There is only ONE Catholic Church - period.

Again - what are you asking me?? Are you asking if I believe the Catholic Church is the Church that is headquartered in the Vatican? I already explained this. There is ONE Catholic Church. It is comprised of 20 Rites that are in full communion with the Pope.. The Pope is the Supreme earthly...

Not sure what to say here because I already answered this question. I already explained that there is ONE Catholic Church made up of 20 RITES. that are all in full communion with the Pope. Any other entity that calls itself "Catholic" is NOT in communion with the Catholic Church. As for who...

Once again - you fail to understand what the Church is. "Roman" Catholic simply refers to the Rite, which is called "Roman" or "Latin". There is also the Melkite Rite, the Assyrian Rite, the Alexandrian Rite, the Coptic rite, the Ruthenian Rite and many others. They are ALL in Communion with...

WRONG. The 20 or so Rites of the Catholic Church are in perfect communion with each other and the Pope. Any other entity is not. There are almost 50,000 disjointed and perpetually-splintering sects - many of them claiming to be Catholic but are not. There is only ONE Catholic Church - which...

Actually - is totally inaccurate. There is only ONE Church - the Catholic Church, which is made up of about 20 RITES. All of these Rites are in communion with each other and with the Bishop of Rome - the Pope. Rites are NOT churches.

Can you point me to the post, then? Just tell me where to find three doctrines you listed that the Catholic Church "changed" at the Council of Trent. YOU said that the list of the changes at Trent was "too long" to post. Just give me THREE of them.

I'm not upset - I'm just dealing with the facts. The official title of the Church is NOT, "The Roman Catholic Church." To insist that this is the name is based on ignorance of the fact that there are TWENTY Rites that make up the Church. The Latin or "Roman" Rite is only ONE of them. Some of...

If you had read the posts - you would have seen where I talked about this historical implications of "Roman Catholic Church." The name arose during Henry VIII's reign to differentiate the "Catholic" Church of England and the Catholic Church in Rome. There are no "other" Catholic Churches - there...

Wrong. For starters – the Catholic Church is not called, “The Roman Catholic Church”. It is simply called, “The Catholic Church” – so get your story straight. Secondly – the Catholic Church can trace itself in an unbroken line of succession all the way back to the Apostles. NONE of your tens...
