>>You put the word "church" in Philadelphia, in quotes, as if you wished to say, "so-called church". Do you not consider it a church?<<

Not in the framework of the Catholic understanding of the word "church". The ekklesia of Christ has little similarity with the Catholic understanding of the word "church".

>>Generally speaking, in moral terms there are two kinds of sex "treatments".<<

I have no interest in Jenner other than to say he's perverted the natural order. My comment had nothing to do with his sexual situation. It had to do with his comment about scripture not specifically saying it's wrong. That type of comment comes often from Catholics when trying to defend beliefs and practices they have.

Then you do agree that Natural Law and Scriptural Law, properly understood, reach the same conclusions?

[Mrs. Don-o]

As I understand it, the “ekklesia” in Philadelphia (in Asia Minor) would be considered a “local church” according to Catholic ecclesiology. That is, if they had a bishop.
