The true church? You didn’t read what I said apparently, so here, I’ll say it again:
The gates of hell has not prevailed against the true church. It has prevailed, despite the thousand year tyranny of the RCC. The truth marches on.
i read what you said, so i am asking what church you are talking about, please name a leader of this church in the first four centuries. i suspect you can’t, because this church i believe only exists in your imagination, never in history. i can name catholics in all 21 centuries since Jesus ascended to heaven, can you?
