It really is tiring trying to have a conversation with Roman Catholics, who keep trying to squirm away from the truths about their denomination.

It must be tough to overcome the language barrier (or do you speak Italian?).

You speak of "come home to Rome" and publish books like "The Path to Rome" and "Home Sweet Rome," and then claim that there's nothing Roman about your church.

Oh I do, eh?

When did I claim there's nothing Roman about the Catholic Church?

Why not embrace the truth that your church finds its home in Rome...?

Because it's home is in Vatican City.

And what does the Catholic Church call herself?

The Catholic Church.

Out of curiosity, was Pope Benedict XVI in the wrong when he signed off on this agreement document that refers to your Church as, "The Roman Catholic Church"?

COMMON DECLARATION OF POPE BENEDICT XVI AND THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY HIS GRACE ROWAN WILLIAMS

See my comment #603, where I prove beyond a doubt that the Roman Catholic church considers itself “Roman.” There’s no wiggle room.

You really need to get beyond your fear of the truth and embrace the fact that you are not a mere “catholic” (as are *ALL* believers in Christ, as they are members of the Church universal), but you are “Roman Catholic.”
