You should know, most things are temporal. They come and go: governments, leaders, fads, trends, beliefs, nations. The Catholic Church does not come and go. It has been here since the beginning, for almost 2,000 years, the oldest sustainable institution on earth. All else is transitory and may not be here a hundred, two hundred, a thousand years from now. “...the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” It has survived heresies, corrupt popes, emperors, wickedness, persecutions, Nazis, you name it, yet it is still standing. Even more importantly, Christianity has survived,and will endure. Little else does.

“It has been here since the beginning, for almost 2,000 years, the oldest sustainable institution on earth.”

The religion of the Hebrews is older than the Catholic church. The Savior of the world is represented in all their Biblically mandated practices. There are in fact 7 churches mentioned in Revelation.
