** They believe they are "Universal" Church, and that you are the "Schism". ** - me

** "They" can believe whatever they choose, that doesn't make them right. ** - NYer

My point still hasn't been taken. You just gave a post expounding the praises of the Catholic Church. Do you think they would say anything differently? You have not, however, established that your Roman Catholic Church is the true Church. They also trace their Papal lineage from Peter all the way to Pope Pius XIII. Can you prove that they are not the true Church you have so described? They have at least gone the extra step to prove that your church isn't the true Roman Catholic Church.

The closest You have come is to say they are not "Universal", but what do you mean by that? If you speak Geographically, neither they nor your Church exist on Mars, and thus neither can be said to be Universal. If you simply mean "all over the world", then they as well claim such a distinction. If by Universal you mean "including every true Christian", then I appreciate your protestant use of the term, but respectively point out that "truecatholic.org" also believes it is Universal in the notion described.

This is the historical process for electing a pope.

Papal Conclave
