My, My, how very sad that Christians must be in conflict with each other when all of this is not much more than a political/historical issue created by men and not God. Get out of your church buildings and start inviting non-believers to know Christ. Build your churches, not in brick and mortar, but in sharing Christian acts. Become fishers of men before this nation collapses in its sin. As a protestant, I lived for twenty years in a region with only catholic churches. I took communion more than twice a week as some of you would judge, illegitimately, but my focus was on a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, not the host or the wine, not the liturgy or the trappings of the church. It worked for me and if it polluted the church, they never knew it.

Rather, all of this IS much more than a political/historical issue created by men, for it flow from doctrine created by men, of distinctive Catholic teachings are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, especially Acts thru Revelation. and which best shows how the NT church understood the OT and gospels).

. Get out of your church buildings and start inviting non-believers to know Christ. Build your churches, not in brick and mortar, but in sharing Christian acts

Although you mean well with your reproof, the reality is that when a org. teaches that their particular church is the one true church, to whom all are to submit, despite it being the single most manifest deformation of the NT church, then just as in dealing with elitist cults, then what they preach becomes in issue in the interest of saving souls.
