Is the Catholic Church a Christian Church ?

[regnauld]

Will the word POPE in the orthodox church is even not correct by itself, the Orthodox church have there PATRIACH and have PATRIACHATE which are autocephalous from one another. They are devided two major groups or churches they are the Western and Eastern orthodox churches.

If we are going to trace the history of the Papacy and both the history of both catholic and orthodox chuches we could see that it is the POPE in rome who should be the head of the church, however during the grate schism in 1054 AD.these orthodox churces considered the POPE as first among equals by First Council of Constantinople.

I think there is a pope of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria!

The Pope of The Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, or Pope of Alexandria for short, is the head of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria in Egypt, which has about 16 million members worldwide, including about 12 million Orthodox Christians in Egypt and another 4 million expatriates in the Diaspora. The title is currently held by Pope Shenouda III, 117th and incumbent Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of All Africa on the Apostolic Throne of St Mark.

^ So, dili siya ma hell kung dili siya mo submit sa sto. papa?

unsa'y pasabot ana kung dili siya mu-submit sa santo papa brod?

unsa'y pasabot ana kung dili siya mu-submit sa santo papa brod?

Pasabot ana dili siya mo agree all the time sa sto. papa even though he is a catholic kay ang sto. papa masayop man sad especially during the INQUISITION and CRUSADES where thousands of people were brutally tortured, killed and massacred in the name of religion!

Yes you are correct there is a POPE in the coptic chuch. the Coptic Church is not in communion with the ORTHODOX or neither with the CATHOLIC church, this church have a different stance on the devinity of christ

Why are they called Coptic Orthodox Church if they were not in communion with the Orthodox?

And what is their stance by the way on the Divinity of Christ?

Well before you can say that should have studed all the aspects of the said events not only one of the aspects but all. its History, understanding of the period, political setuation, before you can say that. since the pope is only infalible on basis on faith and morals and not polical or the like.

oo syempre masayop gihapon ang santo papa kay tao man sad siya sama nato, pero in terms sa doctrines sakto siya o ang simbahan. kung musukwahi ka sa mga doctrines sa simbahan, sa catholic point of view, sama ra sab nga misukwahi ka sa kabubuot-on ni Jesus.

Ok. The pope is infallible, right? Is this ABSOLUTE or not?
