“The true church is Christ’s bride; not a gaudy harlot in bed with Islam and every government on earth.”

The true Church is the Catholic Church. No matter what her earthly leaders do she is still the only Bride of Christ. Christ founded her with His blood.

“The true bride holds on to the bridegroom and his truth, and won’t give herself to falsehood.”

No, but people in her will. Judas walked with Christ, saw Him perform miracles, saw Him raise the dead even, and believed. . . until he didn’t. If someone who walked with Christ and saw all He did, even the most miraculous of things, then why would anyone be surprised (or doubt) that people in the Church today would still possess the ability to betray Christ now? To think otherwise is naive.

“The gates of hell run the Roman institution!”

Nope. But millions of Catholics will go to Hell. And so will millions of Protestants. And millions of Muslims. And Jews. And Buddhists. And so on.

“The true church waits for the soon coming bridegroom!”

The Catholic Church waits for the bridegroom, yes, but millions of Catholics have chosen the world over the bridegroom. And they are not alone in that poor choice.

Jan Sobieski was a committed Catholic who risked his life - literally - to protect his fellow Catholics. You mock his memory when you post like this.

Thank-you for standing up for part of my heritage, on my late father’s side which is Polish. King Jan Sobinski was and is a hero in that he and the Polish army defeated the Ottoman Turks at the Gates of Vienna on September 11, 1683.
