Whee. We're also seeing the evolution of the PCA and the OPC, as well as all the other Protestant mainstream groups. Seems that the Catholic Church is the only Church of Christ. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be; world without end. Amen.
Oh pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaze, spare us.
With all the pedophilia, liberation theology, and scandals in the Catholic Church over the years I suggest you shouldn’t cast stones because your cathedral is mostly glass.
I know of Catholic congregations in my area that would make the most liberal PCUSA church look like strict fundamentalists. I know Catholics in them that agree wholeheartedly with PCUSA thinking on homosexuality and they support abortion on demand, but they remain Catholic because they like the rituals because it makes them “feel” spiritual.
Maybe some of you Orthodox Christian FReepers out there would like to confirm whether the Church of Rome is the only Church of Christ or even the first one?
