“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.....”
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.
“There ARE more than 30,000 versions of the Western Church since the West left the rest of The Church in the Great Schism.”
Wait. Is Constantinople in communion with the Old Calendarists? If you say no, then what? There are not “30,000 versions of the Western Church”. There’s the Western Church and then 30,000 Protestant sects (actually the number is much higher) who are not in communion with the Western Church. You’re not in communion with the Western Church. Are you a Protestant? You probably aren’t in communion with the Old Calendarists. Does that mean you are in communion with everyone who calls himself Orthodox”?
Come on, I know from many talks with you that you KNOW this is how it is.
