Why do you misunderstand my posts when you claim to be laconic?
So why is a laconic misunderstanding?
Tonight isn't special laconic lol.You really are having a hard time answering simple questions tonight.
Is this not implying the 'source' as the church, rather than Christ, from Whom we each draw breath?Hmmmm......
"And this unity we ought firmly to hold and assert, especially those of us that are bishops who preside in the Church, that we may also prove the episcopate itself to be one and undivided. Let no one deceive the brotherhood by a falsehood: let no one corrupt the truth of the faith by perfidious prevarication. The episcopate is one, each part of which is held by each one for the whole. The Church also is one, which is spread abroad far and wide into a multitude by an increase of fruitfulness. As there are many rays of the sun, but one light; and many branches of a tree, but one strength based in its tenacious root; and since from one spring flow many streams, although the multiplicity seems diffused in the liberality of an overflowing abundance, yet the unity is still preserved in the source.
It is separate as long as it does not cling to the root, which is Christ. As is Scripturally sound;Separate a ray of the sun from its body of light, its unity does not allow a division of light; break a branch from a tree,--when broken, it will not be able to bud; cut off the stream from its fountain, and that which is cut off dries up. Thus also the Church, shone over with the light of the Lord, sheds forth her rays over the whole world, yet it is one light which is everywhere diffused, nor is the unity of the body separated.
Heb 11:40Her fruitful abundance spreads her branches over the whole world. She broadly expands her rivers, liberally flowing, yet her head is one, her source one; and she is one mother, plentiful in the results of fruitfulness: from her womb we are born, by her milk we are nourished, by her spirit we are animated."
--St. Cyprian of Carthage, On the Unity of the Church, V

We cannot embrace Judaism and Christianity.
I guess that depends on how many non-RCs there areHow many heretics does it take to screw in that light bulb?
That is an interesting question. Is it also inaudible? Maybe if it's invisible but still audible, maybe they get things done by communicating only with sound. And what about the other 3 senses? Taste, touch, smell....Chapter XXV
Of the Church
I. The catholic or universal Church, which is invisible, consists of the whole number of the elect, that have been, are, or shall be gathered into one, under Christ the Head thereof; and is the spouse, the body, the fulness of Him that fills all in all.
I mean, if you can't even see each other, how do you ever get anything done?

YoungLT) Collosian 2:20 If, then, ye did die with the Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances?
