You mean how the church of Rome wandered from the NT church into a significantly different form ?

No they didn't....they, of course built buildings to meet in, libraries to hold their documents and hand copied Bibles, monasteries to train their followers and future leaders in, Cathedrals to establish local bishops who would oversee a group of parish churches and a normal method of growing a worldwide church....as Christ commanded....to better spread His word. Worked real good....churches in every country in the world and about 1.3 billion members....

And Mormonism has and is doing the like. Organization structure and activity itself does not validate a church .

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Matthew 23:15)

..as Christ commanded....to better spread His word. Worked real good....

Wrong, the errors of Rome is not what Christ commanded, but that of Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:20)

And which NT church did not know of the many things Rome came to teach.

churches in every country in the world and about 1.3 billion members....

And thereby you promote a church which treats even proabortion, prohomo, promuslim pols are members in life and in death, consists of a near majority which support such. Which speaks louder than some paper conservative statements.

the only one that He promised to be with until the end of time,

Wrong, as that refers to the one true church, the body of Christ which alone 100% consists of believers, while Rome sadly largely is a church of tares which shall be burned, as it has become as the gates of Hell for multitudes

Speaking of Catholic Schools...

...check out this Indianapolis one:

Notice OBAMA and "PROGRESS" hanging on the wall in the gym below ??

 

 

Watch for him AGAIN in this video http://www.wthr.com/video?clipId=11020949&autostart=true

 

 

So; MY question is: are they posting Barry's picture because he's BLACK?  Because he's LIBERAL?  Because he's BOTH?

What percentage of CATHOLICS VOTED for OBAMA; anyway???
