>>can you imagine, for just a moment, what a fiasco the world would be, and what Christianity would be 2,000 years after Christ if there were no organized religion??????<<

Yes! It would be just as the apostles taught it should be. The example of the Catholic Church illustrates how power corrupts.

>>Say thanks to Catholicism for the Christianity that we have today.<<

What a mess that is. The paganism of Catholicism has infiltrated most of the organized religions that came out of her. I will thank God that He allowed us despite the attempts of the Catholic Church to understand His true word. God's will defeated the attempts of the Catholic Church to keep His true word from the masses.

[Mark17]

God's will defeated the attempts of the Catholic Church to keep His true word from the masses.

I wonder if that is the reason the times were called the dark ages?
