"Insisting that the Roman Catholic church is the ONE, TRUE church Jesus established is contradicted by the fact that not all who are "Catholic" are saved." - boatbums

No, it's not. By baptism, Protestants are in a (broken) communion with the Church.

Like I told what's up: Look up what the Church teaches on "full communion", "ecclesial communities", "latae sententiae excommunication", etc., if you wish to understand what it means when Catholics talk about being "in the Church".

You mean the Church run by men? Point me to the Bible verse that says this.

Catholicism is all about power, is God even mentioned except in passing?

I must admit, Catholics have a lot of integrity, after all, with enough money, you can get an annulment.

Finally, learn to use spell check.

Yet another RC sees this as contradicting past teaching which require being in subjection to the pope and remaining in the bosom of the church for salvation, and that V2 was not infallible and must be judged, as with the CCC, in the light of past infallible teaching.

And so goes the interpretive unity in Rome.

But then you have things as this:

From the Sinsinawa Dominican nuns:

Finding New Connectors to God We will explore the four types of claires --- clairvoyance (pictures), clairaudience (hearing), clair sentence (feelings), and claircognizance (knowing) --- trying to discover one that resonates with you to help you better connect with the Divine power and bring awareness to where you are spiritually. The retreat will combine the Hatha physical practice and meditation practice of Yoga with discussions about the four types of claires, and time for personal reflection. This is a semi-silent retreat; silence will be observed at all times except during our group sessions. - https://www.sinsinawa.org/MoundCenter/RetreatDetail.cfm?num=511 [http://wdtprs.com/blog/2014/03/of-the-viet-cong-and-radical-feminist-nuns/]

A Circle of Drums This workshop is a high-energy, hands-on presentation emphasizing collaborative, creative individual expression while also exhibiting the benefits of synergetic group dynamics. Bill uses an ensemble of beautiful drums and percussion instruments from around the world to facilitate a meaningful team-building experience that celebrates the expansive nature of human potential and the ecstatic response to group rhythm-making. It is our hope that everyone who participates in the experience will enjoy a powerful body/mind/spirit encounter that will last a lifetime! - https://www.sinsinawa.org/MoundCenter/RetreatDetail.cfm?num=536

The unity in Rome continues to expand.
