The "Church" was built on Jesus Christ. I truly wish that you and the rest of my RC brothers & sisters would look at that fact and try to restore the whole Church, instead of trying to re-enforce the authority of the Bishop of Rome.

If I might respond; The way I see it, Jesus built the Church. And, he built it upon Peter.

Rather than attempt to disprove the legitimacy of other religions, it is my hope to defend Catholicism from those who attempt who would do that to us.

I also defend our pope. But, more importantly, I try to live in accordance with his application of Christ's teaching to the challenges that we all face in this day.

Could you help me out here? Rather than ignore my argument(s), show me where it is wrong or explain why I should ignore what sacred Scripture plainly says.

While I wholeheartedly agree with the directive that there should be "one flock" I am also constrained by the one truth. And it is because our separated bretheren rely on their unbiblical private interpretation of sacred Scripture (and we all witness the heartache that that has engendered) that we turn to sacred Scripture to defend those interpretations that have been held since the beginning of the "Church". To see the fullness of Christian truth, we invite you into the Church that Jesus Christ established on earth. Examine its claims, seek the historical foundations, understand how the Bible was read and interpreted by the Fathers of the Church and receive a holy shock.
