Good morning! Ah, perception is reality, isn’t it? I have no idea what the “See of Peter” is. Nor do I care to know how many other poor souls in non-RCCs are “in communion” with the RCC. But I am interested about this: Are churches that are “in communion” with the RCC considered part of “the Catholic Church”?

But I do read reports from all around the world about RCC outposts (I guess ya’ll consider “it” one church) that reveal CONTROL being exerted by bishops and the like, most of whom fawn over the man called by RCC folks as “Holy Father” - which is an abomination all in itself. Where they don’t possess control, such as in much of communist China, they are working with the government (standard MO) to gain it.

I was called away on business, and I see I have some catching up to do;

In the post to which this one points there's a variation on the "my mind is made up, don't confuse me with the facts" issue. There's a frank admission that the poster doesn't know what he's talking about, but he does know it's "an abomination".

That alone makes this one a keeper.
