Agreed. But from these threads I have discerned (maybe wrongly) that one of the reasons the catholic church believes they are "the" Chruch is becasue the are "united" in their beliefs. That one of the reasons they can point fingers at the "prostestants" and say they are wrong is because there are so many different denominations. I was just refuting that argument by showing that the catholics are no more united then the protestants,

Picture this, if you will ... this is hypothetical, btw ... not a slam toward the Baptist faith. A Catholic Church has divisions within itself (among parishoners), and a Baptist Church has divisions among it's people. BUT ... the Baptist faith itself has many divisions. Which is more united? I'd still say that the CC is the more united, because if you look at the example I just laid out, you're looking at divisions among people in one faith as opposed to divisions among people of one division of another.

Now that I got that out of the way ... There is probably no monopoly by any faith on the amount of followers that don't adhere 100% to the teachings of the faith. Which takes me back to my previous post...

But saying that having division makes us wrong and you right no matter how many divisions there are is not a valid argument. The catholics are just as divided even saying they have an infallible pope as the protestants are divided saying they are following the HS. I'M JUST REFUTING AS ARGUMENT. I'M JUST SHOWING THIS PARTICULAR ARGUMENT FROM THE CATHOLICS IS AN INVALID ONE. I know this doesn't prove either side absolutly the correct one according to this argument. I beleive I am part of the church Christ started, but I will also say this proving that the argument above is invalid doesn't prove mine right. Just refuting:)

BTW "IF" this is a valid survey it also proves that what I have been saying, that the catholic church doctrine may not actually say what I was taught, but from this survey more catholics believe what I thought then they way the catholics on this thread do, which from my experience and from the catholics I know is correct.
