no, sorry, nice try, there are not 30000 roman catholic churches, there is one holy catholic and apostolic church, with the the succesors of peter in rome.....

we are ‘under the thumb’ of the pope, as Christ instructed, with his successors continually leading in an unbroken line for 2000 plus years....

there is no article anywhere on FR noting any sort of roman catholic churches not talking to each other or whining about what is or isnt on an agenda for a gathering of the heads of the parishes, etc, when there is a need for a meeting as called by the church...

and any sort of attempts by renegade bishops, etc (which has happened since the very beginning) to change or subvert the original doctrine has been met with the pope crushing it....thus no heresies ever being taught by the RCC.

dont group us in with sspx, or anglicans, etc, you know im referring only to the roman church, the original church, with st peter at the helm...you left us, not the other way around....

No indeed there are not. There’s no more than one Church of Constantinople for that matter. There ARE more than 30,000 versions of the Western Church since the West left the rest of The Church in the Great Schism. Rome headed off on its own, and in the process, what had been a united Church, a patriarchate, a part of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church in which the fullness of The Church could be found in every diocese from the Adriatic to Scandinavia fractured, no, shattered, into over 30,000 pieces. It’s a tragedy, the consequences of which are seen in the increasing paganization of The West.

The Vatican II Church doesn’t adhere to the Catholic doctrine pre- 1960.
