The Muslims are all divided among themselves just like the Protestants, Eastern Orthodox, and ALL religions except one. The Catholic Church is one. If 800 million Catholics died tomorrow, it would still be the worlds largest religion.

How can you say this??? The catholic church itself has numerous branches and they can differ considerably from that which Rome teaches....Take a look at the Haitian Catholics who incorporate Voo-doo into their catholic faith. In fact a Voodoo priest must first agree to become a catholic before he is given the title of a Voo-doo Priest. I doubt most catholics will adhere to their church and yet they are indeed monetary recipients of monies from the catholic church.

What a few Haitians do, does not change the Catholic Faith, doctrines, and hierarchy. It is one. Don't get too caught up in looking for bad examples. There are few good examples of Christians in this world. FEW.

My years have taught me that the litmus test of a REAL Christian is marriage and birth control. Real Christians stay married till death and have as many children as God sends. They don't use birth control. If I see a person who calls themselves Christian and is divorced and remarried, I know that they are hypocrites. If I see a couple with no children because they use birth control, I know they have not God's Grace.

How many Christians like that do you know?
