...either by word of mouth or by letter."...

Then these two had better match!

[Elsie]

And your extreme verbosity makes your arguments less effective, not more effective.

Oh?

The jury seems to think that an abundance of evidence from the RCC itself tends to prove the opposite conclusion.

[Elsie]

And your extreme verbosity makes your arguments less effective, not more effective.

Really??

Then WHY has the "church" produced SO much verbosity down thru the centuries?

[Zionist Conspirator]

But the real problem is that RC 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. which best shows the NT church understood the OT and gospels).

Also distinctive Orthodox teachings, distinctive Armenian teachings, distinctive Indian teachings (cut off from the rest of the chrstian world for centuries), distinctive Coptic teachings, distinctive Ethiopian teachings, distinctive Assyrian teachings, distinctive Syriac teachings, etc.

But just keep dusting that relic off. You're sure to "restore" the "one true religion" eventually, even if it takes till the end of time.

Exactly, as meaning no distinctive teachings that are not manifest in the only wholly inspired substantive authoritative record of what the NT church believed (which is Scripture, in particular Acts through Revelation, which best shows how the NT church understood the gospels) can be doctrine/required beliefs.

"But just keep dusting that relic off. You're sure to "restore" the "one true religion" eventually, even if it takes till the end of time."

And you also reject certain Catholic teachings in conflict with your own. But I do not see an argument for something of substance in here, just criticizing my own.

Catholisim is losing members that have learned to do research on their own fallen prey to Lucifer, as Luther did with his wrestles with Satan.

Those fallen souls, who are still living, need prayers not praise.

[NKP_Vet]

He’s losing any Catholic who has a brain. A monumental disaster as pope.

[Maris Crane]

That beast should lose ALL CATHOLICS.

Things will improve in the Church as soon as we can get rid of this ROT.

[LadyDoc]

This is not new...it started in the 1980s when the elites started pushing liberation theology.

And we see this in the Philippines too.

[Elsie]

Ebb, you need to preach the goodness of Catholicism, not bemoan the fallen souls it seems to have lost to the Prots.
