His church? But that ekklesia only in Rome now, huh?

I think you're missing the rest of the globe among other things.

Me?

I find it hilarious you would say such a thing at this point.

Sadly hilarious. Not knowing whether to fall on the floor rolling in laughter or to cry at how dense one must be to set aside so fully all the rest the church which Christ founded -- by pointing to how the church of Rome has spread?

You really don't get it, do you?

The category error is to categorize the RCC as "the church" to the exclusion of all the rest, including the other apostolic churches having enjoyed their own autocephaly from the very onset, from the very beginning, not looking to a bishop of Rome as supreme head of "the church" but as one portion, one branch of the same.

All the word-game playing in the world, spread over the entire globe cannot undo the truth of what I'm saying to you now, regardless of how effective 'Rome' has been in convincing a great many otherwise.

If we are to look "globally" we may as well look to Islam also, if global "presence" be now the standard of measure.
