    Chas, believe me, I am not a "Catholic-basher." In an unbelieving world, we Christians can't afford to be quibbling. But your claims to exclusivity are simply not held up by a group the the RCC often appeals to: the Church Fathers, specifically the Ante-Nicean Fathers. Cyprian dressed down the Bishop of Rome kindly, but often. Hippolytes called two Bishops of Rome heretics. Tertullian insisted several times that JC's reference to His Body and Blood at that last Passover meal was a figure of speech. And most significantly, although these early Christians referred endlessly to the authority of the Bible, sometimes dozens of times per page, I have yet to find a single instance of backing their statements up with teachings of Pope of Church. Brother, I am glad that you have found a spiritual home. But it's only a room in a much larger mansion.
