No way that den of iniquity known as the Vatican and the apostate “pope” is anywhere near the body of Christ on this earth.

With their refusal to deal with sin in their midst for over a thousand years (Father Peter Damian and The Book of Gomorrah), they long ago forfeited any right to call themselves a church, much less the one TRUE church.

They have not held to the teachings of Jesus.

Jesus would not let a church like that continue, as demonstrated in Revelation 2 & 3. He removed other churches for far less egregious sins. No way he’s going to protect any other organization that calls itself a church and keep it going.

Satan is not going to destroy the Catholic church with its track record of destroying lives through it’s long history of homosexuality, moral corruption in leadership, refusal to deal with sin in the camp, etc.

The EO is far more likely and has far more right to call itself a church than the Roman rite. Yes, they both claim to be the TRUE Catholic church with the other in schism, but based on fruit alone, the Eastern Orthodox comes out ahead hands down.

Besides, people don’t need a church to lead them to Jesus. Scripture and the Holy Spirit do that just fine.

While EOs have less reports, they also have far fewer members, while neither can claim to be the OTC, no matter how much they pray to their saints and consume their Eucharist.
