This has become a personal attack.
Zot ?
It was corrected and retracted in #1471.
Post 1471:
XS>CtId confuses church with His roman Church. He thinks of Church as a man-made corporation headquartered in Rome.
Chuck, it's still a lie to say Citd or any Catholic thinks of his Church as "man made" or a "corporation."
You believe that. It is a lie to say that we do. And you said:
He thinks of Church as a man-made corporation headquartered in Rome.
That is untrue.
Dave; it is not a lie. It is simply imprecise. Allow me to make it more precise :
He thinks of Church as the man-made corporation headquartered in Rome.
I will have to give you a "D" in linguistic parsing none the less.

*****************************
Nowhere is this post did you retract your false statement that this Catholic (ctid) thinks of the church as a "man made corporation."
I've told you many times that is not how Catholicss think of the Church. We do not think of it as "man made." We do not view it as a legal entity (corporation).
When you retract your false statement I'll stop calling you on it.

Here is a section of the Baltimore Catechism:
136. What is the Church?
The Church is the congregation of all baptized persons united in the same true faith, the same sacrifice, and the same sacraments, under the authority of the Sovereign Pontiff and the bishops in communion with him.
137. Who founded the Church?
Jesus Christ founded the Church.
************************
Right here. First two questions. Shows you the Catholic teaching on what the Church is. It is the congregation of all baptised persons. (i.e. not a "corporation.") And it is founded by Jesus Christ (i.e. not "man-made.")
