Yet so often all I see here is fighting among people of the various Christian denoninations.

Has this been rescinded??


"One indeed is the universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved, in which the priest himself is the sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the species of bread and wine; the bread (changed) into His body by the divine power of transubstantiation, and the wine into the blood, so that to accomplish the mystery of unity we ourselves receive from His (nature) what He Himself received from ours." — Pope Innocent III and Lateran Council IV (A.D. 1215)

Therefore, if anyone says that it is not by the institution of Christ the lord himself (that is to say, by divine law) that blessed Peter should have perpetual successors in the primacy over the whole Church; or that the Roman Pontiff is not the successor of blessed Peter in this primacy: let him be anathema. — Vatican 1, Ses. 4, Cp. 1

Every Christian church claims to be the one and only true christian faith and all others are false and misguided.

I do not share that sentiment. My church is the path for ME. I recognize it is not the only path and not the path for many.

The fact is, man is too evil, racist, separatist, egotistical and vile for all of us to follow one faith. We constantly fight among ourselves. I give the Lord God the credit for realizing that man is too banal for all of us to Hear his Word from just one denomination. My Church is the right church for ME but I realize others may need a different path.

There are many people who can’t see this and think their path is the ONLY path.
