I explained 3 times why that was a non-sensical idea. 2) YOu keep referring to the Church as a "denomination," but as I've already insisted, the Church is not "one among many" as the Protestants are, for the simple reason that there are tons and tons of Protestant 'churches;' there is only ONE Catholic Church. This is verified by the fact that you continue to make it evident that you see this as some sort of wrestling match. All the Protestant denominations against the Catholic Church which is apparently some corporate powerhouse that needs to be put out of business. 3) Those "numbers" make no difference when speaking to any mildly informed Catholic. It doesn't even make us blink. Do you know why? And anyway those numbers are beginning on the upswing. Take seminary enrollment for example, which is up.

Mateo el Feo Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Air America is a radio network whose purpose is to spread the glories of left-wing ideology. It is known for the fact that it can't get anyone interested enough to listen to its broadcasts.

Expose Novus Ordo through the real issues, that you and Budge had been doing so much until recently. Playing a numbers game just begs the question of whether or not you actually have anything useful to say anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the Protestant denominations against the Catholic Church which is apparently some corporate powerhouse that needs to be put out of business. [/quote] Really? Coulda fooled me..... Please NOTE, this list is compiled by the SAME PERSON and organization, Barett that compiled the list wherein the Catholic Church online apologist likes to CLAIM there are 30,000+ denominations, the SAME criteria was applied to the Catholic Church as was applied to other groups. [quote][color="#660000"][b]No doubt the same Roman Catholic apologists who so gleefully cite the erroneous 25,000-denominations figure, and who might with just as much glee cite the revised 8,196-denominations figure, would reel at the notion that there might actually be 223 distinct denominations within Roman Catholicism! Yet that is precisely the number that Barrett cites for Roman Catholicism. Moreover, Barrett indicates in the case of Roman Catholicism that even this number can be broken down further to produce 2,942 separate “denominations”—and that was only in 1970! In that same year there were only 3,294 Protestant denominations; a difference of only 352 denominations. If we were to use the Roman Catholic apologist’s method to “project” a figure for the current day, we could no doubt postulate a number upwards of 8,000 Roman Catholic denominations today! Hence, if Roman Catholic apologists want to argue that Protestantism is splintered into 8,196 “bickering” denominations, then they must just as readily admit that their own ecclesial system is splintered into at least 2,942 bickering denominations (possibly as many as 8,000). If, on the other hand, they would rather claim that among those 2,942+ (perhaps 8,000?) Roman Catholic denominations there is “unity,” then they can have no objection to the notion that among the 8,196 Protestant denominations there is also unity.[[/b][/color][/quote] [quote]324 Roman

If they're not in communion --They're not Catholic On the other hand, the protestant churches have infinite differences in faith, morals, earthly leadership, etc. =infinite different churches or "churches".

When I was in France, I was at Mass with Italians on a pilgrimage one day. When it came time for the sign of peace, I got the shock of my life when this man kissed me on both cheeks. No harm meant, it is their way. So if you see these differences, it means little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
