See # 22; the Catholic Church survived in the East even as Rome fell.
The Pope & Church are preserving the institution of marriage and the sanctity of life; many other “Christian” denominations have folded on both.
Baloney. I know people in many denominations who support life and marriage. I was watching my church service on tv months ago and his sermon was on marriage and homosexuality. There are churches in my denomination which have been kicked out for going against God’s Word. Many years ago, JWs use to come to my door. That is, until I told a few where I went to church. It was amazing. I have not seen any since then. Guess they knew we knew more about the Bible than they did and did not want to waste their time. When we expanded, we bought the small Mormon church next door then added on to connect the 2 buildings. Blanket statements are often very wrong.
