Conrad Desjarlaiis, You Protestants have made a MICKERY of Christianity with your 30,000 false denominations! You offend Jesus!

Conrad Desjarlais...YOU ARE CALLING THE CATHOLIC CHURCH "confusion??" Excuse me, BUT THERE ARE OVER 30,000 PROTESTANT "churches," and ONLY ONE CATHOLIC CHURCH. The "CONFUSION" is the false PROTESTANT church! wow!

The Orthodox Church is the true Church. Rome is in error.

Hmmmm, looks like catholicism should concern itself with its own schisms.

Does the cover up of the pedophile priest for decades and decades and decades make a mockery of Christ?

Tia Thompson...Since the Holy Catholic Church is the ONLY Christian Church established by Jesus Christ, any schism, splinter, Protestantism would be a break away from the Holy Catholic Church. Since you do not know what  the definition of schism is, I will help you....schism is the refusal of submission to the Roman Pontiff or of communion with the members of the Church subject to him." [Code of Canon Law                 c.751]

Tia Thompson....Here is what Saint Ignatius of Antioch  said. Saint Ignatius is an Early Church Father...."You must all follow the bishop as Jesus Christ follows the  Father, and the  presbytery as you would the Apostles. Reverence the deacons as you  would the command of God. Let no one do anything of concern to the Church
      without the bishop.  Let that be considered a valid Eucharist which is celebrated by the bishop, or by one whom he appoints.  Wherever the bishop appears, let the people be there; just as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is  THE CATHOLIC CHURCH."  (Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaeans)

Tia Thompson..Among the Christian churches, only the Catholic Church has existed since the time of Jesus. Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The Protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. (Most of today’s Protestant churches are actually offshoots of the original Protestant offshoots.)

A separation or division into factions: "[He] found it increasingly difficult to maintain party unity in the face of ideological schism over civil rights."

Clearly it is you who has no understanding of the word schism.  Point being, RCC and Orthodox are not on one accord, agreement, total unification.  You are not one.  And it is their claim that they are the true church.......soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. 

You RCC nuts have no room to talk about divisions and denominations when it appears that you catholics have these issues yourself.

Saint Ignatius (35-107), the second Bishop of
Antioch wrote a letter to the Smyrneans in 107 A.D..  so much for Cionstantine

In this letter is recorded the first known use of the words "Catholic Church"...

Paragraph #8

"You must all follow the lead of the bishop, as Jesus Christ followed that
of the Father; follow the presbytery as you would the Apostles; reverence the
deacons as you would God's commandment. Let no one do anything touching the
Church, apart from the bishop. Let that celebration of the Eucharist be
considered valid which is held under the bishop or anyone to whom he has
committed it. Where the bishop appears, there let the people
be, just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not permitted without authorization from the bishop either to
baptize or to hold an agape; but whatever he approves is also pleasing to God.
Thus everything you do will be proof against danger and valid."

What Holy Scripture has said Christ's Church would be:

How Christ's Church has conformed to Holy Scripture:

It will be founded by GOD: Psalms 127:1, Matthew 16:18

It was founded by GOD.

It will be highly visible: Isaiah 2:2, Matthew 5:14

It is highly visible.

It will have the authority: Matthew 18:15-18, John 20:21-22

It has the authority given to it by Jesus Christ.

It will have a Father Figure: Isaiah 22:20-25

It has a Father Figure, as GOD always had for His people.

It will be a Theocracy and not a Democracy: Eph 5:23-24

It is a Theocracy. It is governed from the top down.

The blueprint for it is described in the book of Acts.

It is blueprinted in the book of Acts.

It will have priests, deacons, Bishops: Acts
6:1-6,14:22,20:28

It always has had priests, deacons, and Bishops.

It will have Apostolic Succession: Psalm 109:8, Acts 1:20-26

It has Apostolic Succession.

It will offer sacrifice every day in every place: Malachi
1:11

It does offer sacrifice every day in every place.

It will be guided by the Holy Spirit: John 14:16-17,
16:12-13

It is guided by the Holy Spirit: Acts 15:28, Rev 2:7

Truths of GOD to be revealed to it over time: John 16:12-13

Truths of GOD have been revealed to it over time: Eph 3:10

It will be the Pillar and Foundation of Truth: 1Timothy 3:15

It is the Pillar and Foundation of Truth.

It will be the guardian of truth: 2Timothy 1:13-14

It has been the guardian of truth for almost 2000 years.

It will uphold Apostolic Tradition: 2Thessalonians 2:15

It upholds Apostolic Tradition.

It will have Church councils: Proverbs 11:14, Acts 15:1-29

It will be attacked from the inside: John 6:70

It has been attacked from the inside.

It will be attacked from the outside: Matthew 5:10-12, 10:22

It has been attacked from the outside.

All who fight against it shall be confounded: Isaiah 41:11

37,000+ Protestant sects is proof that they are confounded.

It will be found in every century: Ephesians 3:21

It is found in every century from the day Christ founded it.

It will last forever: Isa 41:10-11, 54:17, 59:21, Matt 28:20

It is still with us today from the day in which He founded
it.



There is only one Church in the entire world which matches
all of the Scriptural requirements as listed above.

Can your sect match even one of those requirements?

Conrad Desjarlais...You do not seem to know your history! The Holy Catholic Church started in 33 A.D. on Pentecost, way before Constantine. Protestantism is confusion with your THOUSANDS of  false denominations ALL claiming to have the "truth."
