Yes to your question......Catholicism.
The so-called “christian” faith in Latin America may be growing, but it’s at the expense of the Catholic faith diminishing.
It is time for ALL Christians to become Catholics; that’s what the Popes taught prior to VC II.
What? Your post was in reply to Genoa’s. Genoa made the catch!
Church splits have happened over less.
=====================================
Is the "grey" becoming a bit more DARKish? Hmmmm?
Be careful!
People might mistake you for a JESUIT!! :o)
Oh no!! NOT a JESUIT!! ANYthing but a Jesuit!!
Yay, Franciscans!
We had a Franciscan priest in Saudi Arabia. Imagine, the Saudis provided us Americans with men of the cloth.
Anglicans: a vicar who had a service once a month for the SIX Anglicans on camp.
Catholics: a priest who lived on camp and held DAILY Mass, 9:00 A.M., first in his home, then in a large room in the camp clubhouse. We ended up NOT having to share a "room"/church with the Protestants.
Protestants: a reverend who held their service in that same clubhouse, ONCE A WEEK, usually right after the Catholic service. Protestants have NO obligation to attend ANY service, at any time, for any reason whatsoever--not Sundays, not Christmas, not even Easter, the holiest time of the year. So, they weren't a HUGE force in our camp Christianity.
All the Protestants were lumped together. I'm sure they loved that. (sarcasm)
We were all, I'm pretty sure, just glad to have the opportunity to have men of the cloth there. The Saudis respect Christianity, no matter what the Muslim-haters here say. This is because we Christians are all "people of the Book": the Bible, of course.
=====================================
FWIW: In Arabic JESUS is "Issa." We have a California Congressman named Darrell Issa.
From Wikipedia: Darrell Edward Issa
(/ˈaɪsə/; born November 1, 1953) is the Republican U.S. Representative for California's 49th congressional district, serving since 2001. The district, numbered as the 48th District during his first term, covers the northern coastal areas of San Diego County, including cities such as Oceanside, Vista, Carlsbad and Encinitas, as well as a small portion of southern Orange County. Since January 2011, he has served as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

>>Yes to your question......Catholicism.
Sadly, you are probably right...as prophesied in Revelation. Fortunately, unorganized Christianity will still exist throughout the world in that time.
No kidding. The Protestants have "split" some 30,000 times. Talk about SPLITS.
Of course, there is no ONE head of the Protestants to prevent this. They will probably split more over the millenia.
Oh, okay.
Visit my home and the story of its destruction:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christ_Church_Greyfriars
It started with Henry VIII and his six wives, his determination to have a son and his decision to start HIS VERY OWN CHURCH and thereby thumb his nose at the Vatican.
The arrogance of the man still appalls me. After all that England was ruled by a woman. That was retribution of cosmic size.
Why, yes, it was.
Thanks for the ping. I doubt that any Protestants will be invited to this meeting in 2025.
Are you kidding? After Assisi's I, II and III group hugs, you can be assured you'll have ample representation, with voting powers.
You have claimed you are not Catholic. Thus you have no claim that which you do.
Grey friar my aspe.
No kidding. I think Martin Luther will be “canonized” by then as well.
I’m not Catholic in this life, however, in a previous life I was a Friars Minor Monk at the abbey in Newgate Street in the early 1300s.
I bet you are wrong. The Orthodox will be hosting, so they will simply have to hold back the Romanist Order of Albino Assassin Monks when they get the scent of nearby Protestant Christians and their blood-lust hits them.
Freegards
Can you be specific as to how you "know" Christ comes again in 2025? SPECIFICALLY
Heh! Yeah, those Albino Assassin Monks would be a problem.
