I am not confused at all.

Catholicism forfeited the right to call itself a *church* over a thousand years ago.

It’s history is rife with homosexuality, immorality, greed, corruption, murder, extortion, etc.

It is not *one* as there is a schism with the EO and has been for over a thousand years, with each calling itself the *one true church* and the other in schism.

It is not holy by ANY stretch of the imagination.

It is not catholic as it does not encompass or tolerate any dissent or difference of opinion.

Nor is it apostolic as there is nothing in Catholicism that even begins to resemble the early church as recorded int he book of Acts and addressed in Paul’s epistles.

Romanists can make that claim all they want but it falls really flat in light of the reality of the fruit Catholicism produces.

But SURELY those seven Asian churches are identical to RCC today; right??

Your false comment: “Catholicism forfeited the right to call itself a *church* over a thousand years ago.”

That is just your opinion. All sin is evil and Our Lord suffers for all sins. At least sinners in the Catholic Church have the opportunity to change their ways and repent, go to the Sacrament of Confession and be reconciled with God.

The Catholic Church has her origin in the Holy Trinity, and that is the source of her holiness. The Church is holy in her Founder, in her saints, an in her means of salvation.

I hope that you have the opportunity to reconcile with God.
