The word "catholic" means "universal".

Any arguments to prove that the Current Roman Catholic Church is actually the true descendant of the early Church can be equally applied to the "True Catholic Church" found at the following Website: http://www.truecatholic.org/

Wrong! This is a schismatic group that is not in communion with Rome.

"Schism (from the Greek schisma, rent, division) is, in the language of theology and canon law, the rupture of ecclesiastical union and unity, i. e. either the act by which one of the faithful severs as far as in him lies the ties which bind him to the social organization of the Church and make him a member of the mystical body of Christ, or the state of dissociation or separation which is the result of that act."

SCHISM

Don't worry, I do know what "Catholic" and "Schism" mean. My point is as follows:

Each argument you just provided they can return with equal effectiveness against your Roman Catholic Church.

They believe they are "Universal" Church, and that you are the "Schism". They even have a picture of the Pope kissing the Koran. And they also have some doctrinal proof to back it up: Heresies of JP2

Please note: I am truly not trying to be a jerk. I'm merely trying to point out that any "Logical" statements you make are being made by the wackos at that site. I really like their Pope. I especially like the fence in the background... Looks rather regal to me.

BTW: You haven't answered my questions concerning your own personal beliefs towards whether or not JP2 or Vatican II are straying from the traditional teachings of the RC Church.
