To: Saint Athanasius
The Council stated the Church of Christ "subsists in" the Catholic Church, thus establishing that the two are separate. The Catholic Church has always claimed it IS the Church Christ founded, thus establishing they are one and the same. These two concepts are irreconcilable.

Is this the only error?

Come on, my friend. That seems like word-parsing in the most Clintonesque fashion. Jesus christ is the Church and lives in his members who make up the Church on earth. I just don't see the huge problem with the words. To subsist in is to live in.

I wish so much that you and I could speak in person.
