I know.. but it does anyway.. All denominations fly in the face of the Body of Christ.. the Bride of Christ.. ALL of them..
Why do we have to go around and around and around again on the same stuff? Strictly speaking, the RCC and the EO do not consider ourselves a denomination. I understajnd the Protestants disagree.
My having to say this at this point in the thread is to me a remarkable demonstration of the obtuseness of many of the interlocutors here. Some thousands of posts back we went in some detail into the question of two different views of the nature of the Church. I really don't want to have to go through it again.
And besides, we Catholics are eager to admit to many many many sins. So what's the issue? What is your point?
