“The spouse of Christ cannot be adulterous; she is uncorrupted and pure. She knows one home; she guards with chaste modesty the sanctity of one couch. She keeps us for God. She appoints the sons whom she has born for the kingdom. Whoever is separated from the Church and is joined to an adulteress, is separated from the promises of the Church; nor can he who forsakes the Church of Christ attain to the rewards of Christ. He is a stranger; he is profane; he is an enemy. He can no longer have God for his Father, who has not the Church for his mother. If any one could escape who was outside the ark of Noah, then he also may escape who shall be outside of the Church...He who does not hold this unity does not hold God’s law, does not hold the faith of the Father and the Son, does not hold life and salvation.” Cyprian,Unity of the Church,5(A.D. 256),in ANF,V:423

Meaningless drivel...

[one Lord one faith one baptism]

the arrogance is astounding!

I think everything you have to say is meaningless drivel as well, so let’s call it a draw.

Especially ironic in light of the subject of the thread and the infiltration of the priesthood by homosexuals, the cover up by their enablers, and rampant immorality that has existed within the Catholic church for centuries. It was spoken against in the 1000's by Peter Damian in his The Book of Gomorrah.
