That four marks distinguish Christ's kingdom of heaven on earth. They are made known in the Creed—"I believe in the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church."
One in:
Faith
Belief
Worship
Government
Holy In:
Origin, Christ.
Objective, redemption.
Means, sacraments.
Sanctity of faithful.
Catholic :
Teaches all nations.
During all time.
All Christ taught.
Peoples of all nationalities obedient to one universal authority in faith and morals.
Apostolic :
Founded upon apostles.
Teaches what apostles Apostolic taught.
Continuous existence from time of the apostles.
"The enemies of the Church themselves die and disappear, but the Church itself lives on, and preaches the power of God to ever succeeding generations" (St. Augustine).
Peace Be With You

Wow. Excellent question!
The answer is YES! Think about it: why don't we see protestants bashing protestants? If we're so wrong, then which one of them is right? We never see a baptist telling off a Lutheran, or a Methodist screaming at an Anglican, yet each of these believe different things than the other and all claim to be right. How does that make sense?
In the air of their contradictions, the only thing they can seem to agree on is that they say the Catholic Church is wrong. In the absence of any of them standing up as the true church, it leaves me to deduce that their united voice against the Church is actually a cry indirectly ADMITTING to Her truth, as She is the only target for all of them, yet they say nothing about each other. Why is that?
God bless.

I couldn't agree more. The Bible is full of warnnings and examples of hardship that people endure simply for believing in God and standing firm in the Faith. The fact that the Catholic Church is attacked so much - and always has been ever since it's beginnings - making the fact is has been around as long as it has all the more incredible - seems to suggest Divine Origin.

No,it's a fact that people are afraid of the truth! If you believe that God doesn't make mistakes, then the Catholics are in the wrong religion! God put his only son in the JEWISH religion, he wouldn't put him in the wrong religion would he?All religions are man made!! The Vatican is the richest country in the world ! Gee! I wonder why? Can you imagine what would happen to it, if everyone found out that they didn't have to go to church to pray or to confession to talk to a man, instead you could just tell God!!!! What would happen to all the Priests? Try really learning about it ! You'll be surprised! (a former catholic)

no, i don't think so, but i do think it gets at least one person to actually think differently. while many on here that aren't Catholic spew nothing but lies and mistruths to people who truly don't know.... i'm praying the truth get's into some. i do believe the dislike and stupidity shows nothing but the ignorance of many and, God willing, some people will actually understand and know the truth about the Rcc.
i chuckle about the guy commenting on the KJV -- dude there wouldn't even be a KJV version without the Rcc.... silly.

I am a christian and used to go to catholic church many years ago now i go to a non-demonination church - Assembly of God (I am christ*ian) - all i can say is that the truth is in his word not matter if catholic, baptist, christian, penacostal, etc...if you read and pray about his word (the bible) you will know his truth. I wish more people could see the truth in God's word instead of the world's word.

Yes of course. Same goes for Islam. Same goes for Atheists. Same goes for Nazis? Same goes for Spaghetti Monsters?
Your reasoning is peerless...here's a star for plain weirdness.
But at least you got Catholic Crusader using capitals.
CAPITALS STAND FOR TRUTH. SHOUTING IS TRUTHEY!!!

I am Catholic myself and I don't like to prove that my church stands for the truth based on being DISLIKED!!
There are 1000000 other valid reasons for that.. :)

wow. talk about brainwashing....
The reason people cling to any religion is that they are afraid of the truth. And that includes Catholics. Sorry to say, but it's true.
All is one.

No, it means that in the United States, the Protestant denominations are better at spreading misinformation.
