You refuse to acknowledge the facts when they’re put plainly before you. The Vatican considers your church to be, quote: “the Roman Church.” Your Pope, according to the Vatican, is considered, quote: “the Roman Pontiff.” Pope Pius XII wrote, quote: “To be Christian one must be Roman.”

These are *facts* about your church, provided by those in authority within your church. You can argue against it till you’re blue in the face, but the fact remains that you are a member of the ROMAN Catholic Church.

I agree that all Christians are members of the catholic church, i.e., the Church universal. Only some are members of your church, the Roman Catholic Church.

It is not a fact. I have told you again and again, I am not Roman.

Again, the name of the Catholic Church is, yes, the Catholic Church.

Yes, this is the Catholic Church.

I do not have a church, the Catholic Church is not mine: it belongs to Christ, its founder and leader.
