Quix, you think you have no kinship with the wacky liberal sodomite Xtians.
But yeah you do: Neither of you is in communion with the See of Rome.
But it was just as trivial and arbitrary for God to choose ONE guy in Ur of the Chaldees and to say to Abraham, "I am going to explain monotheism to you AND I am going to put you through trials in which you make nearly all the wrong choices, but at the end I will bless you, but you won't understand the blessing in all its wonder until you've been dead for over a millennium.
You make the mistake of thinking that because we make these outrageous claims, we must think we are the bees knees!
But just as Mount Sinai is a mountain nobody would look at twice if the Torah had not been delivered there, so also the Catholic church is the most ludicrous dam' thing you could imagine. No person of discernment could ever confuse the glory of God with the gaudy display of the Church.

INDEED.
BLESSINGS,
