To all Freepers taking issue with me on this thread. You should investigate the Roman Church.

Hello. I was born and raised Catholic and have family members who are clergy in the Catholic church.

I know enough about Catholicism that I don't need to investigate the Roman church.

And what about the EO? Or the Eastern rite Catholic churches? Or one of the 22 some other flavors of Catholicism?

Which of them is right?

Or is only the Roman church the ONLY OTC?

All these different opinions fracture the body of Christ. We need a decider to whom we all listen.

Do we? Why?

So we can all come together under one global world church?

Uh, no thanks.

And right now this "decider" is Pope Francis??? Even plenty of Catholics would have a problem with that!
