What "incorrect" Asian church is a transmitter of "infallible" doctrine? Not sure what you'e talking about here.

So coy.

Your PERFECT church; with it's PERFECT doctrine; could not even get those seven churches in ASIA right!

If there were an Internet back then, Catholics would be howling for Pete's head; just like they are Francis' head today!!!

[Mrs. Don-o]

As far as I know, every one of St. Paul's epistles was written because he saw problems developing in the local churches where he had preached, or which he had planted. Problems with conduct and problems with deviations from doctrine.

Nobody every denied that the Catholic Church has faced these problems from Day One. The Church has never held that all her people and all her local churches are perfect. If that were the case, we wouldn't start every Mass by saying we confess our sins, and proclaim before every Communion, "O Lord, I am no worthy."

So you're refuting a definition of "perfection" that the Church has never held.
