"The Christianity of history is not Protestantism. If ever there were a safe truth it is this, and Protestantism has ever felt it so; to be deep in history is to cease to be a Protestant." (-John Henry Newman, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine).

"Where the bishop is, there let the people gather; just as where ever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church". -St. Ignatius of Antioch (ca 110 AD)a martyr later thrown to the lions, wrote to a church in Asia Minor. Antioch was also where the term "Christian" was first used.

“But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.” 1 Timothy 3:15

"This is the sole Church of Christ, which in the Creed we profess to be one, holy, catholic and apostolic." -CCC 811

It's Official: Pope Francis draws the biggest gathering in the history of the Church and that's in Manila!

It's official. Pope Francis' Mass at the Luneta yesterday was the Largest Papal gathering in the history of the Church. I was there too!

Paid Ministers of Manalo's INC™ Church have been lying to their members that the Catholic Church in the Philippines is losing its members to the Iglesia Ni Cristo®-1914. I don't think a strong 6-7 million attendees is a proof of that "losing members" in the Catholic Church.

And YES! One thing is obvious! INC™ Ministers LIED again!

6-7M attend Pope’s Mass at Luneta

Philippine Inquirer: MANILA, Philippines–Pope Francis on Sunday concluded his apostolic visit with a pastoral message in his final Mass attended by an estimated 6 million Filipinos who beat their own record of love for the world’s largest papal gathering: Find your identity as God’s children in the Sto. NiƱo, and thereby, cherish each child and protect the family. 
The Pontiff hailed the Philippines as the “foremost Catholic country” in Asia whose citizens have a vocation to be “missionaries of faith” in the region. 
Celebrating his concluding Mass at Manila’s Rizal Park before euphoric Filipinos on the rain-drenched Feast of the Holy Infant, the Pope wove his homily around the symbolic message of the Holy Child.
