The members of each church say that their church is true. That is why they belong to that church. Those who are not Christians say that no church is really true.
You have to make your own decision, based on how you understand the truth.
The Catholic Church says that all Churches reflect something of the truth, in other words, they all have a portion of the truth, but that in the Christian view of things, the "Truth" became incarnate, in other words, for us, Truth is a Person, Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, is Truth incarnate, and He established only one "Church", "MY Church" (see Matthew 16:18) and He established it on a person (again, Matthew 16:18). The Church teaches that She is the Mystical Body of Christ (Acts 9:1-5, 1 Cor 12:12-14). Thus if Jesus is Truth, which we believe, and His Church was established by Him on Peter (and his successors) (Matthew 16:18), and it is His Body (1 Cor 12:12-14) then the answer is simple. The Catholic Church is truth and is true. Other "churches" contain some truth or a reflection of them, but all truth subsists in the Catholic Church. Any other answer reflects relativism which is what Pope Benedict XVI called the greatest danger of our time:
"The dictatorship of relativismis confronting the world. It does not recognize anything as absolute and leaves as the ultimate measure only the measure of each one and his desires.
"'Adult' is not a faith that follows the waves in fashion and the latest novelty. "Adult and mature is a faith that gives us the measure to discern between what is true and what is false, between deceit and truth."
