Are you denying that the Catholic Church preaches the Gospel?It might "preach" it at times, but "believing" it is another matter.

Neither can a church -- a believing church.

Do you have some omniscient gift which enables you to discern what the Church "believes" (and I mean the Church as a whole, I have no doubt that we can find individual Catholics and Protestants, both clergymen and laymen, who do not actually believe what they profess)?

So, you ever heard of "Mass"? We have the Gospel preached daily, not some song-and-dance acts on television who has a couple of mansions and fake hair
Furthermore, The Church consists of the 1 billion folks in the Catholic Church and the half a billion Orthodox and Oriental Churchs -- you have somehow magically read the minds of all of these and figure out they don't believe?
