There are no perfect churches or denominations. That’s the point. If one claims “one true church” that implies the “true” part means they do all things justly and right. Plus we are not just talking about teachers but men who took vows, hear confessions, oversee and perform holy sacraments. Much more is expected and required of these men.

So no church is perfect, but you can measure the effectiveness of their claims by how they follow their own rules and authority.

Poppycock. The Catholic Church is made up of sinners.....exactly like whatever faith you belong to.

Christ said he would be with his Church till the end of time. The Catholic Church has been around for 2,000 years. Full of saints and sinners, good popes and bad popes. If the world stands 2,000 more years the Catholic Church will still be here, spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.
