You see it as a choice of opinions presented here.No absolutely not

Instead, it's a matter of what is true and not just who has the longest religion.

It has nothing to do with longevity, it that was true than paganism would be what I was following, or Judaism. Both have longer histories than the Catholic Church.

My wife's brother engaged me in apologetics to get me back into the Catholic Church. A number of well meaning protestant friends of mine suggested Tim LaHaye and Lorraine Boettner books to counter his arguments. I poured through them and found them so filled with error about Catholic beliefs and practices that it wasn't even funny. This caused me to look much closer at history. This drew me to in depth scripture study. When I began to compare the various beliefs of the different groups the Catholic Church was the only one that held up to scriptural practices, historical accuracy and precedent (She was the only one that could show unbroken succession back to Christ.)

No not opinion at all, longer drawn out careful study by someone that was hoping he could find the truth somewhere, anywhere else.

She (the RCC) was the only one that could show unbroken succession back to Christ.

I do not and have not questioned your sincerety or devotion to the Roman Catholic Church. Different FReepers in various approaches have attempted to counter some of your statements which you believe are true and we believe are untrue.

Don't go away. Don't quit and take your FR financial support with you just because some FReepers won't allow RCC rudeness and a carefully-cultivated and ignorant superiority complex to stand unchallenged.

About many things you have posted, it is not a matter of opinion, it is a matter of what is indeed the truth. You are not winning on the court of forum debate, except with fellow RCC members who are in the same basket as you.
