"Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches."But we shouldn't call out the errors of the Catholic church cause that's Catholic bashing......priceless.

Yup, Jesus established a single church ~ in Jerusalem!
Other churches were established by disciples in various places. The Pope owns one of 'em.
Is there anything new in this?

"One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic." These are basics of the Catholic religion. The Pope sounds he attended the catechism classes I did. The School Sisters of Notre Dame who taught me was primarily a German order, so it might just be.
As I was told more than once, "You are graduating from this school only through the grace of God and the mercy of the School Sisters of Notre Dame."
Course, in high school, it was "...through the grace of God and and the mercy of the Resurrectionist Fathers", so maybe that came in a newsletter and various people just picked it up.

>>The other communities cannot be called churches in the proper sense because they do not have apostolic succession the ability to trace their bishops back to Christs original apostles.” I guess tracing back through the Anglican church does not count? Apostates....all of’em, apostates.

The Amish and Mennonites all claim “apostolic sucession”; the Catholic church doesn’t recognize their claim but they make it anyway. My own church gets around the concept by claiming they are a recreation of the First Century church in Jerusalem.

The Anglician church was started by a fat lecherious King of England so he could get a divorce from his wife, so I would that doesn't count.
It may follow the basic traditions of the Catholic churcn, but the bishops and priests trace their authority to Henry VIII, who simply appointed himself supreme head of the Church of England on no one's authority.

The other communities cannot be called churches in the proper sense because they do not have apostolic succession the ability to trace their bishops back to Christs original apostles. There's no reason why anybody should have to do that. the faith and practice of the churches are determined by God's Word, not some bogus "apostolic succession".

The Pope needs to read the Bible.

If this is said from true concern for my soul then I have no problem with it. However I have prayed faithfully and it has been clearly revealed to me that the church I am at is where God wants me to be right now. So I think I’ll need a little more convincing than an I said so from the Catholic leader.
I will continue to pray I’m where God wants me, and if I am led to the Catholic Church of Rome, I would go.

The Anglician church was started by a fat lecherious King of England so he could get a divorce from his wife, so I would certainly say that doesn't count as "apostolic succession".
It may follow the basic traditions of the Catholic church, but the bishops and priests trace their authority to Henry VIII, who simply appointed himself supreme head of the Church of England on no one's authority but his own.

Once again I claim there is an anti-Christ sitting on the Throne of Peter in Rome.
I guess the idea of the Pax Romana is alive and well.
