“cultists”? Protestant theologians who converted to Catholicism fooled?
Works of Augustine-Aquinas-Newman-Benedict studied under the rigor of scholarship and inquiry in the greatest colleges and universities of this world unable to make “cogent arguments”? For over 2000 years “un-scriptural system of indoctrination”?
From AD 110, St. Ignatius of Antioch wrote: “Where the bishop is present, there let the congregation gather, just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church”. The Church believes that when the bishops speak as teachers, Christ speaks; for he said to them: “He who hears you, hears me; and he who rejects you, rejects me” (Lk 10, 16).
Long time of “indoctrination and falsity” Wow! all those saints and martyrs in hell?
You presume he spoke for the entire church.
Some may be in the Book, but ...THEY ARE ALL DEAD, JIM!
