To: Repent and Believe

The exclusivity of the one, holy Christian and Apostolic Church does not sit well with the world. We know by faith that the Church is outwardly manifest in many ways, yet ultimately stands or falls on the One Man whose flesh, crucifixion, death, and resurrection avail before God as our righteousness, namely Christ Jesus. I take the title of this piece to be referring to the universal (catholic) Church as opposed to the Roman Catholic Church.

That is very magnanimous of you, but by virtue of the fact that the word *Catholic* is capitalized, it DOES at that point mean the Catholic church.
