It’s an open thread, not a caucus designation.

Anybody is free to participate.

I see the concept as proposed by the Catholic church an attempt to put their claim to being the one and only true church started by Jesus beyond any possibility of refutation.

“I see the concept as proposed by the Catholic church an attempt to put their claim to being the one and only true church started by Jesus beyond any possibility of refutation.”

Indeed, I would argue it’s one of the most important teachings of the Catholic church.

The only time, I believe they have lost bishops was during the Great Schism. Which is why that schism has been such a loss.

Shouldn't they be more concerned about what Jesus said and taught then to squabble over a line of succession?
