As I recall the Scriptures say the church that Jesus founded was not called anything. But, then Rome never has really followed the Scriptures.
The Body of Christ, the true Church of Jesus Christ on earth, the Church triumphant and universal is not an organization that a man joins, but a family into which children who are elect before the foundation of the earth are adopted in order to become heirs of the righteousness of Christ. Rome has long suffered with a myopia, a sort of grandiosity of self-importance that drew the attention to itself, just like your quote. This is likely what will take it to hell. We call upon Rome to repent...if it can.
But, I suspect it is too busy burying the stories of its pedophilia and protection of dirty priests by Ratzinger. Tragic, but expected when men focus on themselves. Is this more of the non-hate which manifests itself in the "love" of little boys?
No Catholic will ever defend the indefensible. Most of the sex abuse that took place dates back to the 50's and earlier. I would ask you, however, what is being done in non-Catholic communities to stop predatory sex abuse of children? This is not limited to the Catholic Church.
Sex Abuse of Children by Protestant Clergy.
The Catholic Church here, through its bishops in the USCCB, have implemented a program to prevent future occurrences. This includes all members of the community who come in contact with children, from janitors in the schools to volunteers who teach children at the parish level. We all are subjected to fingerprinting and a police background check. We are also required to attend classes on how to identify sexual predators and what actions to take. This is possible because of the centralized nature of the Catholic Church. It is also the reason why the media have been able to focus a laser beam on us. This is not possible in the non-Catholic denominations where there is no one to take responsibility.

Worse still, is the sex abuse of children in the education system.
WHEN BOYS ARE MOLESTED BY TEACHERS AND OTHERS IN POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY
And then there are the camp counselors, Big Brothers of America and the list goes on and on. There is plenty of guilt to go around.
I’m not surprised you went there. YOPIS has no merit. Neither do you.
Your rabid hatred of your fellow Christinas is manifest now in everything you post.
Your rebellion against Christ is familiar. Lucifer rebelled against God in his pride, hatred, and arrogance. You do the same for his son.
The more hatred you spew, the more everyone can see through you.
Why let the 8th Commandment get in the way of a good anti-Catholic smear? Why let the fact that sexual abuse by Protestant Clergy is as much as 10 times more prevalent get in the way or repeating a stereotype dreamed up by the Nazi's, the Left, the secular Humanists, the Pagans, and the envious Protestants?
AMEN! That is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the only mediator between God and men.
All glory to God alone.

Hmmmm..you are aware, I assume, that the incidence ofclergy preying on young boys is FAR more prevelant in the protestant clergy than it is in Catholocism.....and the protestants are usually married which exacerbates the situation. Do Catholics have their share of idiots, of course we do, but in no greater numbers than any other religious group.
