I take comfort in the continuity of their doctrine, and the way that large organization is targeted by secular authorities today.
Continuity of doctrine. LOL. There is little continuity, but never mind that, I’m not going waste time arguing history with you. For the sake of argument I’ll assume there has been doctrinal contuiity, even so, continuity doesn’t prove truth. Truth can only be measured by the Scriptures. Please become a Berean and compare what the Word of a God says to the doctrine and practices of your church.
May the Lord bless you.
Here’s the testimony of a former priest from Ireland.

Do you ever long for the Good Ol' Days; when Rome WAS that large organization that targeted the secular folks back then??
