IOW, that the RCC only claims that it represents the fulness of the Church. Other groups, in RCC thinking, are defective in some way yet are still part of the Church. In some cases only by baptism and in some cases by baptism through local churches (i.e. those with valid apostolic succession).<BR/><BR/>In any case, though it may be one of the Pontificator's Laws, I've never seen any actual Magesterial teaching, even implicitly, that a group must self-identify as "one true church" in order for it to be so. Of course, I fully realize that Fr. Kimel's law are somewhat in jest, yet sometimes its thrown about as established fact.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05218434053331256206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18902745.post-1165958488308923322006-12-12T16:21:00.000-05:002006-12-12T16:21:00.000-05:00Fr Stephen,You miss the point.
