sometimes the word religion for me is sick...sorry for that bro...
we need to ponder...
When the end of the age is culminated, Jesus Christ comes to claim his precious Bride or Church.
We are given a glimpse of this glorious event in the book of Revelation 19: 7-9
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”
Revelation 21:9 ... “I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife”.
Brod, examine the state of your soul.
Let's ask ourselves...
Have I been washed by the Word of God?
Will I stand holy and blameless before the Lamb of God at the Great Marriage Supper?
bitaw bro, sa terminolohiya di jud ko ganahan...kung naa mangutana unsa akong relihiyon...
akong tubag, tigsimbahan kos St. Francis of Assisi parish sa naga, Sa Basilica del Sto Nino, Sa Birhen sa Regla, sa Guadalupe...
naninguha kong idepensa ang Magisterium sa Universal Church...
bitaw atong balikon ang gi-ingon ni Maria Simma...
All people have an interior Faith (conscience); even if they do not practice, they recognize God implicitly. Someone who does not believe — that doesn't exist! Each soul has a conscience to recognize good and evil, a conscience given by God, an inner knowledge — in different degrees, of course, but each one knows how to discern good from evil. With this conscience, each soul can become blessed.

Brod, share lang ko sa akong nahibaw-an. I believe and remain to be Catholic because this is the only Church that has been in existence since the time of Christ.
Roman Catholic Church (the Latin Church) -- the Latin-rite Church with the Pope as Patriarch headquartered in Rome
There are other 24 Churches which are part of the totality of the Catholic Church, and the Latin Church is just A part of the 24:
Melkite Church
Ukrainian Catholic Church
Eastern Catholic Church
Latin/ Western Church (commonly referred to as the Roman Catholic Church )
etc etc
we cannot define the Catholic Church as a single reality but actually a community of ancient Churches headed by Patriarchs with the Pope as its head.
Each of these Churches is self-governing but united in doctrine as defined by the Magisterium.
Most of the time, ROman Catholic jud ang imong kasagaran ma-meet sa street kay they make up about 90% of the entire Catholic Church.![]()
Judaism is much older that Roman Catholic Church, but even if so, age doesnt really necessarily have to equate to truth..
90%? is it really?.. cguro diri sa Pinas 90% but still that is a debatable percentage.. but if you sum up the numbers worldwide, i think 90% is an overestimation..

Yep, JUST ONE of the reasons bro... actually daghan pa. heheheh. one of the reasons is it satisfies the four marks of the Church instituted by Christ. More infos are provided on the links and video.
To quote ST Ignatius of Antioch (now modern Syria):
"""Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid.""" — Letter to the Smyrnaeans
