Re: Magnificat...

It is extremely simple :)

Q: How many churches did Jesus establish?

A: Only one.

"Upon this Rock I will build My church." (Matthew 16:18)

"There shall be one fold and one shepherd." (John 10:16)


The Catholic Church is the only church which can be traced back to Christ. Every other church has its history in an apostate (Luther, King Henry VIII) usurping authority from the Church Christ established for themselves.

The "authority" which is usurped is not genuine because it does not follow the lineage of the apostles, who were given Authority by God.

By their fruits ye shall know them...

- This explains why shepherds of other faiths cannot cast out demons where as Priests of the Catholic Church can.
- It also explains why Catholics have the lowest divorce rates by 25% compared to Protestant counterparts.
- It also explains the continuous splitting of the Protestant faiths. There is one Catholic Church, but something like 30,000 Protestant churches world wide practicing all sorts of apostasy and heresy.
