Yes, of course that is what I asked. No wonder Rome has fooled itself into believing its own propaganda.
"Everyone is instructed to be perfect. You, me, everyone. No exceptions."
Here is where (among other places) we depart...radically. You evidently must be concluding you comply or you would not have said it is for "You, me, everyone." But, Paul points out that this turned out not to be possible. Rom. 4:5, "But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness." The vicarious atoning death of Jesus? Your best as filthy rags? Hmmm. Sorry, but the perfection you seek from your life is not available. That is the message of the Gospel.
And, your previous remarks claimed there was no reference to DB88 and I noted there were no references to the Roman Catholic Church. You come back with remarks about a "catholic" church (meaning universal, not CatholicTR). This substantiates a new country run by a pope? Then look in Mark 9:26, that is REALLY about me (it says, "boy"). The self-proving fog that Rome lives in is evident.

Actually, it IS what you asked - you wanted help with the language of Catholics.

Are you paying attention to anything I have said? I have repeatedly said that we are instructed by the Lord to persevere. No one is perfect who is not God. Yet we must, when we fall short of the mark in sin, get up again and keep walking the Via of Christ. Perseverence of the saints is not a bestowed static state that drops on one from above - it is with the Grace of God that does come from above, that we can, not have to persevere.

The message of the Gospel is this: Matthew 22:36 "Teacher, 21 which commandment in the law is the greatest?" 37 He said to him, 22 "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the greatest and the first commandment. 39 The second is like it: 23 You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

St. Ignatius is clear - the Church is Catholic - capital C, with the Apostolic succession in full force.
This substantiates a new country run by a pope?
Don't like Vatican City? Do you prefer the despotic tyranny of Calvin's Geneva? How about the iron hand of the state Calvinist religions in the American colonies?
Then look in Mark 9:26, that is REALLY about me (it says, "boy"). The self-proving fog that Rome lives in is evident.
Okay, I believe you that you are a convulsing boy. How does that show that Rome has a self proving fog?
