That is definately wrong in that Christians 'cannot' go to Church since there is no temple in the city [of God] (Rev.21:22) which now means that all Christians who do go to church are hypocrites and if that was not true Catholics would have been the Christians in Christendom but they know that they are not and called themselves Catholic instead of Christian (with the Church Triumphant in the back ground for Christians as Senators, I suppose).

Moreover, if Christians each are 'one' solitary Freeman with a mind of his own [that Paul called the mind of Christ] why would they need a canon since there is not even a "they" to want one. Do you not see the contraction in gnosticism as an -ism wherein knowledge' itself' still needs a paraclete from yet a 'higher high'?

It may help you to view the Church as a 'people ranch' (as I have suggested before) that since its heyday that Luther brought to an end the Church announced the start of its 'Involutionary Period' in age and time whereupon its Senate wrote the "Sylabus of Errors" to identify the 'host material' that became united under the Westfalia Peace Agreement of 1640 as the designated place where the flame is kept alive outside the city of Rome 'to sell its feature(s) short' in the hot free market that surrounded them . . . and thus more like a 'cow-bird' than the 'cuckoo-bird' since Gutenberg in 1440 had assured the abundance of 'meat' around to prevail thus hence.

Hint, they are just playing games folks with the objection of Pius IX and the new start of Pius X under the piety of Seneca and the numeration of the final IX that holds the promise of a rebirth now forshadowed by Pius X to gain momentum at the low point of this declining age; i.e, "a remnant shall remain" as truth will stand.

Exactly, and therefore I say that today we see 20,000 old horses galloping in the wrong direction still trying to breed the devil any which-way they can not realizing that even if they get there she still does not catch . . . to say that there is no light to be found in darkness or it would have been raised a long time ago and be a part of Rome. Please be reminded here sir that these pple are alchemist by tradition who can purify base metal into gold and thus leave what is left for others.

I think that Northrup Frye* presented this well in his Great Code" who in many words wrote that we must go down into the Seine before we can assent Montmartre to find the Sacre Coeur (from "[his] parody to extacy"), just as the woods must be cold and silent before the robins sing . . . and those who have never known sorrow cannot know the infinite peace that befalls the troubled spririt when it finds at last release.

*I greatly respect him in that he was just one apostle short ( and his name was John of old).
