No, that would be suicide.
The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Christ (read St. Paul). He is its head and all baptized Christians are its members. So, no, unless you define criminal enterprise as God incarnate on earth. It is true that the Catholic Church, or its hierarchy, has committed many serious crimes over the centuries, but we can be charitable enough to conclude that these crimes are aberrations of the church rather than reflecting the true purpose of the church.
true
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, it is not true, the Catholic Church was formed from the side of Christ, as he hung dead on the cross at Calvary, when his side was pierced by the sword and blood and water flowed out; just as Eve was formed from a rib of Adam, so was the Church formed from Christ's body and was made His Mystical Body, and His Bride. The false notion that this Catholic Church was formed in the fourth century, after Constantine made it the official religion of the Roman empire is a malicious bit of false history made up by various groups in the last couple centuries in order to further an argument that the Church that Christ founded is actually an invisible union of all baptised believers and NOT the Catholic Church. This is a bit of fantasy that has no basis in reality. Catholic AnswerNo. It is first and only Church after the ministry, passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In early Christianity, the sole Christian Church was the Catholic Church (Universal Church) consisting of the Christians of the East and the West with the Patriarch of Constantinople as supreme head of the Eastern Christians and the Bishop of Rome (Pope) as supreme head of Western Christians. History can attest that the Bishop of Rome, which has always been considered the successor of the apostle Peter, was first among equals to all the Bishops of the East and West. Note that Eastern and Western Christians have slightly different external practices but with the same seven (7) sacraments and basic beliefs up to the present time. In 1054, the Eastern Christians and Western Christians split, the Eastern Church calling itself "ORTHODOX CHURCH/ES" while the Western Church retained calling itself the "CATHOLIC CHURCH." The term "ROMAN CATHOLIC" was actually a term given by Protestants, especially Anglicans, in the early stages of Protestantism in the 1500s to Christians, Churches or Christian communities loyal to Rome. Many early Protestants think they were still Catholics though not "Roman," and to differentiate themselves called those loyal to Rome "Roman Catholics" and the ancient Catholic Church, "Roman Catholic Church." Later on Catholic Christians use the term "Roman Catholic" without knowing the historical background of the derogatory term. Today, there is a movement to drop the word "Roman" among Catholic Christians, returning to the earlier use. Thus, for instance, the current published Catholic catechism is not titled "Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church" but simply "CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.'
Yes it is.
There is only one true religion, the Catholic Church.
False.
Yes.
True
.Catholic AnswerHow? By the Grace of God. The Catholic Church is the only one that was established by Our Blessed Savior, and the only One that is His Mystical Body, to which He sent the Holy Spirit to guide it until the end of the world. How is it the One True Church? By the Grace of God.
No. Actually, just the opposite, the Illuminati have been condemned by the Catholic Church for centuries.
No, the Catholic Church remained unchanged. Henry founded his own church with him as the head and made many changes that were different from the true established Catholic Church.
Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church is Christian, as a matter of fact, it is the only true Christian Church: Our Blessed Lord only founded ONE Church, and guaranteed It and send the Holy Spirit to guide It until the end of the world. Therefore there is only one Christian Church and it is the Catholic Church on earth. All other sects and religions were formed by men centuries later and are Christian only insofar as they have a valid baptism and believe in the Nicene Creed in its traditional interpretation; in other words, Christians are Christians only insofar as they are Catholics. All other "Christians" are only using the word, and are not so in fact. Please note that Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.
