Could you cite chapter and verse where the Bible says, "the Roman Catholic Church is not the real Church"? I must have missed it...

Actually, you need to provide the verse that states that "the Roman Catholic Church is not the real Church"?

Show us where the phrase *Roman Catholic church* appears in Scripture.

(??) I do? Why would I need to show that the Catholic Church is not the true Church, much less find a Scripture passage for that? The statement is false, so I wouldn't expect to find it in Scripture.

Right next to "Trinity". :)

But more to your point: don't you remember that Catholics are not believers in the illogical and unscriptural tradition-of-men known as "sola Scriptura", and that we're no more obligated to obey it than we would be obligated to avoid the number 13, avoid black cats crossing our paths, and other such man-made nonsense?

You, on the other hand, are a sola Scriptura adherent; and you need to obey your own standard (as does editor-surveyor); if you make a claim about the Faith, then you'll need to show where Scripture teaches it. Editor-surveyor claimed that the Roman Catholic Church is "obviously not the true Church" (i.e. that Her claims to that effect were "clearly false", and that "Scripture refuted them"); I'm simply asking him and you to put your money where your mouths are.

Now, if you don't WANT to obey "sola Scriptura", fine... then we can finally throw that silly and fake standard away, and all be the better for it. But you need to make up your minds; you can't have it both ways.
