Ian Paisley you son of a bitch

If Paisley has goodness in him as you suggest, then where is it? As far as I have ever seen, all he ever does is blaspheme against the Pope, Rome and the Roman Catholic Church. He seems to hate all three! Christ himself taught tolerance and understanding and forgiveness throughout christendom. Paisley calls himself a minister of God, he could not even spell GOD!

Yes, indeed, the other 'man made' churches, Protestant or otherwise, each claim that they are right and that the others are wrong - so what? Claiming to be right doesn't make them right. So they don't actually differ from the Westboro crowd. They are all based on individual interpretation of the scriptures which was a heresy brought about by Martin Luther. The scriptures are the inspired word of God and the inspired word of God has only one interpretation and it is the duty of the Holy - contd.

Catholic Church that was instituted by God in the person of Jesus Christ to teach what the scriptures mean. All protestants conveniently overlook the fact that the bible is a Catholic document. It was the Catholic Church that produced the bible from the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Martin Luther took it upon himself to remove 7 books from the bible and he was about to remove Revelation as well when his contemporaries told him to leave it alone as he had done enough already! Yes, the - contd.

history/genealogy of the early church can indeed be traced back to the apostles. All of the Popes can be traced back to St. Peter himself. Regarding your last question: Pope John Paul ll, some years before he died, decreed that Protestantism 'is' a path to salvation for those who follow it. Remember the words of Christ to his apostles when he instituted the church with them: "What you bind on earth will be bound also in heaven; what you loose on earth will be loosed also in heaven."

Do you know that many other churches claim the same thing for their church? (Including the whackos of the Westboro Baptist Church - they reject 39,999 of the protestant churches - only one less than you do.)

Can the genealogy of the Roman Cathoilc Church be historically traced and suppoerted by primary documentation to the first apostles - or is this a matter of faith?

Also; are you saying that the followers of all other Christian doctrine are damned to hell as followers of false religions?

The other so called Catholic churches that you mention are break-aways and are out in the cold as are the approx. 40,000 Protestant churches. The true Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church went underground for the first 300 years due to persecution, but in the early 4th century a Roman emperor called Constantine the great, embraced Christianity as the religion of Rome and as a result the church became based in Rome as it still is to this day.

It's interesting to note that Constantine was canonised a saint after his death.
