me: when christ gives the keys to peter and builds the church on him, renaming in Rock, he said the very gates of hell would not prevail against the church....
if you disagree with christ when he says that, that is your issue, not mine, i agree with christ, and so far, the H.S. has protected his one, holy, catholic and apostolic church from heresy within, and without, against enemies within and without, from luther’s deformation and further fracturing of christ’s body into thousands of competing denominations all preaching something different....
the church built on st peter stands unvanquished.....
because the holy spirit protects her....and that is christ’s words, not any pentacostal, not any mere man, like the founders of the deformation churches...

1. Gates are DEFENSIVE. I don’t claim to know what Christ meant by that but it’s fairly clear He did not mean that any organization of flawed humans would be perfect. Pretending otherwise is a gross mangling of the English language.
2. No, it does not appear that you agree with Christ at all because you mangled His words outrageously out of context and outrageously all out of whack with English word meanings and grammar.
3. The RC edifice has had many outrageous things over the centuries done in the Name of Christ and in the name of Peter. Heresy would be a mild label for many of them.
4. We still reject that Christ built His Universal Body on Peter, at all.
