Increasing perversion may be too strong. Covering up past perversions is probably more accurate. Its already a given the rest of the NC's have more sense than me. So there goes your scoop. Nonetheless, welcome back.
LOL. It's good to be back.

Ya right. Now the "C" in catholic was capitolized in 110ad. The propaganda is officially out of control.
I don't know why you think this is an argument. Regarless of when the word got officially capitalized, the word was still referring to the same institution, the same Church.
When Microsoft was just Bill Gates and pals in his garage, before they got the officially registered trademark and logo, they were still the same group. N'est-ce pas?

Just curious. This quote was pre-Roman/Orthodox split. So which catholic "big C" church was St. Ignatius of Antioch reffering to?
Would you believe that the Catholic Church still considers herself to be "orthodox" and the Orthodox Church still considers herself to be "catholic?"
The names are a convention, how we deal with the split. If you ask our Orthodox friends here, deep in their hearts, they'll tell you that they are the real "Catholic" Church.
