Your church calls itself the “Church of Rome,” and refers to its leader as “The Roman Pontiff.” I’ve given you the specific references before. And yet you continue this little game that your church has nothing to do with Rome.

Actually, for completeness (and complete confusion) MY church calls itself "the Church of Richmond" since I am in the diocese of Richmond, Virginia. My church is in full communion with the See (or Church - in the sense that Richmond has a church) of Rome, AND is a "Latin Rite" Church. So in that sense it can be called Roman Catholic.

But I have a friend and brother lay Dominican who is actually a Ukranian (or somesuch, I can't keep 'em all straight) Catholic. His church is also in full communion with the See of Rome, but it would be incorrect to call him a "Roman Catholic."

Thank you for acknowledging something Petronski just cannot: that your church is “Roman Catholic.”

I honestly don’t have a problem with Christ-followers who find their “home in Rome.” I just have a problem with people saying that because I follow Christ, and am not a member of the Roman Catholic church, that I am somehow inferior.
