[Cronos]

The Church is as ordained by Christ -- the community of believers in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, true to the teachings of Christ as handed down through His Apostles. That is why even Rabbinical Judaism makes it a point for teachers to identify their teachers and so on to the beginning to keep the faith true.

The Rabid CalvinistCult may be an institution, but Christ's Church is not.

oh, and we do see true Christian Protestants as brothers in Christ -- but not the pinko mafia who have hijacked the ECUSA and now are hijacking the ELCA. We have more in common with Traditional Anglicans and orthodox LCMS than with the pinkos and secularists.

Christ did say that the world would hate His people, His Church, the One Holy Apostolic Catholic Church. And, the more we get haters here, the more it seems apparent.

Ok, by correctly observing the obvious you attempt to draw the conclusion that the RCC has it all right. Problem is, we have a book and according to that book, the RCC (by her dogmas) also has it wrong. Also, not that I need the approval of those following the Bishop of Rome to validate my beliefs, I've noticed that more catholics wax poetic on the negative with respect to what you call "protestant brothers". Question? Why do catholics appear more concerned with the progress of liberalism in the mainlines than in their own scandals?
