There is only one Church and that is the Body of Jesus Christ comprised of every elected and rescued soul on earth and in heaven, irrespective of their nation or race. The members of this Body don’t have to explain those that speak error. We know that error is rampant.

A lofty goal, totally unbiblical, but still lofty.

OTOH, the Catholic church claims to be the one monolithic giant that holds sway to the “keys” to the kingdom and speaks as a single voice.

Not quite true, but I think I understand what you are saying.

I’m just pointing out that they have a rogue element that spits in their face.

No, they don't. The fact that some pro-death group chooses to use the word catholic in their name has nothing to do with the Catholic Church.

And you are the one that said you didn’t want to discuss salvation and then began to argue it. Just odd logic.

I changed my mind based on your response.

Since you brought up the topic of “unbiblical”, that is precisely the enormous error the Catholic church is engaged in as an organization. If you want “biblical”, please enlighten us all where the support comes from for a separate country that mints its own currency (check out gold from the Vatican), sacerdotalism, mariolatry, popemobiles, relics, salvation by sacraments, genuflecting, confession booths with separating screens to keep the priests off the women/men/boys, the gold and gems, or a hundred other things this monstrosity claims is godly.

Further, there are specific biblical admonitions to avoid dozens of the things they promote: chanting with meaningless repetition, claiming they have seen apparitions, excessive reverence for men (Sainthood), etc.

And as #62 notes so well, there are now a lot of RCs on the SCOTUS and we shall now see if people who hold to Catholicism actually do anything close to what they claim to believe. I’m expecting another set of excuses headquarters will provide for this failure.
