Vatican Control Though Civil Law

mandrake, what about the assassination of Monarchs and leaders?

Oh it is a curable cancer, all we have to do it reject it and it dies. The problem is that people are basically stupid. Priests like to refer to themselves as shepheards, guess who the sheep are?

I'm sorry but the facts are on the Catholics' side - the Eastern Orthodox split from the original Roman Catholic (Western) Church during the 11th century (the Great Schism). This means that the only direct 'descendant' of the Church Christ started is in fact the Roman Catholic Church (if that is what you mean by 'true'). Please look up facts before attacking Catholics. Thank you.

It was RC Church that changed the Credo. Orthodox still uses the original. RC Church split from Orthodox.

No, wotanodyn I'm afraid you're wrong aswell... Even though the changes made to the original Creed are used by the Catholic Church, the RC Church still fully recognizes the old text of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed officially. However the change was still approved (even though opposed) by Pope Leo III. It is merely a different custom Western churches practice. There were a great number of issues which together caused the Schism. The change to the text was surely not the only reason.
