What a farcical straw dog.
RC’s pretend with straight faces that the RC edifice has been a seamless homogeneous body of pure doctrine and practices from 2000 years ago.
What a pile of smelly political pontifications.
1. The RC edifice did not begin until about AD 400.
2. History—the UNrubberized version—is crystal clear that the RC edifice has been a mess with a long list of contradictory dogmatic pontifications and
3. a long list of horrific practices off and on for centuries.
Fantasies to the otherwise are . . . brazen fantasies.
Thankully, there are Christians that have the ability to see through such hogwash—including some RC’s hereon.
That is irrelevant to Catholics. The Catholic Church began circa AD 32, at the Pentecost.
Hey Quix-draw, I see you are back from sabbatical (or whatever they are calling it on FR these days). I was beginning to think you were a victim of alien kidnapping or something. The forum has been a bit “quiet” without you...ok, that’s not exactly true. In any event, welcome back.
