Gee, since islam has more than 1.2 billion strong and they’ve been around for over 1,000 years, does that mean they are the OTC and that God has been protecting them because if they weren’t they wouldn’t have lasted so long?

I'm reminded of the FRoman Catholic who posted many years back that the pedophilia scandal (the existence of, not the absence of) inside the Catholic Church was proof that it was the OTC. According to her reasoning (and Fulton Sheen's), the organization with the greatest amount of perverts in it must be the one that God loves best, since it was the one most under attack.

LOL I’ve heard those reasonings before. They so soon forget about those attacked by the Catholic Church and it’s secular minions during the dark ages.

At least in what you quoted (and bolded), where’s the disparagement?

There's rationalization if ever I heard it.

That must mean that everyone else that other RC's hold up as worse than the RCC must have MORE of God's favor on them, that they must also be part of the OTC.
