[A.A. Cunningham]

The RCC began in about 313A.D. or so..

Then explain why Ignatius of Antioch wrote the following in 107 AD:

"Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church."

You still playing in your band "Simple Minds"?

[ "Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." ]

There is one church, i.e. a universal(catholic) church.. There always has been, is now, and always will be.. one church.. However the sheep pen(s)(John ch 10) is not IT/THEM".. The church or "flock" are those called OUT of the sheep pens.. Because, you see, the word eklesia(church) MEANS the called out ones.. it does not mean a building or synagogue.. OR sheep pen..
