Something for you to ponder: If the Catholic Church is as horrible and evil as you say why is it still here after 2000 years?

Hinduism, Buddhism, Janaism, Zorastrianism, Taoism, Confucianism, Hermeticism are all older than the Roman Catholic church.

Longevity doesn't make right.

Besides, if any religious system is from the enemy, why would the enemy want to destroy a perfectly good religious system that keeps people from God and yet makes them think they're right with Him.

The longevity of the Catholic church is absolutely no indicator of it's truthfulness.

The only indicator of that is its conformity to Scripture, in which it fails mightily.

Maybe it is because every single priest in the world can trace his lineage directly back to one of the Eleven.

Prove it.

Show us the records kept.

And what difference does that make if they can produce lineage? How is that important?

Why have so many of it's Priests been directly involved in so many advances in science across so many different fields? The list goes on and on of the good done by the Catholic Church.

Can you say *Inquisition*?
