The protestant reformation was a rejection of the catholic church, which is basically a medieval monarchy designed to rule men. This offshoot from the early church claims to be the sole heir of all legacy of Christ, yet never notices that Christ never established a government, asked for immense buildings to be built in his honor, or expected anyone to bow down to him. Furthermore, he never created any hierarchy for man to relate to God. Look at how Christ lived on earth, then at the vatican, or at the leaders of most large organized protestant churches, the mormons, etc. The contrast is almost comical.
Catholics are christian, nothing more, nothing less. In terms of this article, they are sect number 26001,,,, that’s it.
“which is basically a medieval monarchy designed to rule men”
Which is why the Church resides in Rome?
Not according to Scripture...
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” Mat 6:18
“But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.” 1Tim 3:15
Sure. But according to the Bible, they are #1. And only.
