Mathew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. This is the true Christian church. It is not a building nor an organization but a gathering of believers.
I think it would be fair to assume that in any Christian church, be it those who dance with snakes in Kentucky and Tennessee to the radical fundamentalists or even Mormons . . . . there would be at least three who are there to truly worship God. That being the case, we can equally assume that all churches are the true church?

Does everybody know the Catholic Church also believes in evolution! It's more of an hierarchical stance on evolution then a widespread belief in the followers
The Catholic church hasn't been a fundamentalist church for a long long time. This was a truth I learned way back in Sunday school. But, I do believe that the truths of the Catholic church, (and the Orthodox for that matter) are more on the mark than protestant belief, not that they are totally off.....
