Does your denomination claim that they have the absolute truth, that those are UNCHANGEABLE doctrines that all members must believe? This is what the Catholic Church teaches of it’s DOCTRINES, they are unchangeable absolute truths that a Catholic must believe or he is not a Catholic.

Here is an example of an unchangeable dogmatic statement by the Catholic Church, notice the language, very clear, either a Catholic believes these two doctrines of The Trinity and the Incarnation (Jesus Christ is God) or they are condened to perdition.

Athanasian Creed (4th century A.D):
“Whosoever will be saved, before all things it is necessary that he hold the Catholic Faith. Which Faith except everyone do keep whole and undefiled, without doubt he shall perish everlastingly. And the Catholic Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity ....
Furthermore, it is necessary to everlasting Salvation, that he also believe rightly the Incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man. ....
This is the Catholic Faith, which except a man believe faithfully and firmly, he cannot be saved”.

The Athanasian Creed is correct.

Only when (and if) the Roman Catholic church ever gets around to believing it in practice and doctrine will the RCC be assured it is a part of the Christian church.

Until then, the RCC's blaspemous superstitions of calling the members of their priestcraft "another Christ" and Mary their "mediatrix" and "co-redeemer" will keep it in the dark and floundering.

“And the Catholic Faith is this, that we worship one God in Trinity ....”

Amazing! In your example, you show that your church has changed the meaning of the Creed in order to hijack history.

The original Creed reads, “And the catholic faith is this: That we worship one God in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity;”

No wonder you must believe the church’s dogma without question.
