“They are only excluded by their own choice. There is only one church, it is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Non-Catholic Christians aren’t considered to have an inferior faith but they join themselves to organizations which cannot be Church because there is only one, established by Christ and protected by the Holy Spirit and it will prevail until the end of time.”

Nice little whitewash there. There is only one church, made up of all the believers of Christ, there are however denominations that make things up as they go along.

What is the "whitewash" , exactly?

Well, yes, that's the other view, and just as our asserting our view doesn't make it so, so your contradicting it doesn't make it NOT so.

56 For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. 57 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. 58 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. 59 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. 60 These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum.

61 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it? 62 But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you?


And some walked away.

Where is that prepostorousness in the Bible?

10 ... I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no schisms among you; but that you be perfect in the same mind, and in the same judgment. 11 For it hath been signified unto me, my brethren, of you, by them that are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. 12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith: I indeed am of Paul; and I am of Apollo; and I am of Cephas; and I of Christ. 13 Is Christ divided?

(1 Cor 1)

Once again, you're are right and history shows that the One Church is the same Church established by Christ, the Catholic Church. It basically celebrates the same liturgy as the Apostles and has not changed its beliefs in 2000 yrs.
