		The Patriarch of the Roman Catholic Church is the Pope.
		Catholics differ from Protestants in several points, including the necessity of penance, the meaning of communion, the composition of the canon of scripture, purgatory, and the means of salvation: Protestants believe that salvation is by faith alone (sola fide), while Catholics believe that faith is exhibited in good works.
		Catholics hold as central that the Christian Church is one visible organisational body, founded by Jesus Christ on Saint Peter and the Apostles, and that this one church has existed continuously from that moment to the present day.

		In a stark reversal of its previous statements, the Roman Catholic Church in Australia has admitted that secrecy clauses were included in compensation payments to sexual abuse victims.

	Why the Orthodox Church is the Best
		The Orthodox Church was the official church of the Roman Empire.
		Although the Catholic Church broke away from the Orthodox Church in 800 A.D., in a sense the Catholic Church has been going since the first century A.D., since it was previously the Orthodox Church in Western Europe.
		The difference between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church is not one of theology but is their different attitude to sin.

	Who is a Roman Catholic?
		While Catholics often ridicule non-Catholics for denominational division, they are hypocritically silent and do their best to hide the frequent 'family conflicts', even wars going on between the various types of Catholics.
		Catholics regularly boast of their "unity" and hypocritically ridicule the remainder of Christendom for their "endless divisions", erroneously citing the existence of upward of 30,000 denominations (1).
		The Catholic concept of unity is more outward--all wearing the label of Catholic and to one degree or another acknowledging Rome and its religious hierarchy as the center of Catholicism.

	PM - No women priests for Cardinal
		A five year study of attitudes towards the treatment of women in the Catholic Church, commissioned by the Catholic Bishop's Conference, has found that a quarter of the Church supports women's ordination.
		But it's a decision that's been made by the Pope himself, an authoritative decision made in his role as head of the church, and to my way of thinking my conviction is that it's not going to be overturned and reversed in future years.

	Women in the Church Since Vatican II (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		This emerging women's movement in the Roman Catholic Church has captured attention worldwide because it is challenging an intransigent and patriarchal tradition of that church and is making serious headway toward its goal: restoring the equality in theory and practice that belongs to a Christian and Catholic theology of persons.
		The Vatican II Pastoral Constitution "The Church in the Modem World" stated, "With respect to the fundamental rights of the person, every type of discrimination, whether social or cultural, whether based on sex, race, color, social condition, language or religion, is to be overcome and eradicated as contrary to God's intent" (No. 29).
		The report expresses concern that many women leave the church because the church is insensitive to their desire to "participate fully" in its life and mission.

		When even the crusading, witch-hunting, Inquisition-ing Catholic Church is, in its own mind, a “victim,” you know you are living in a strange world indeed.
		It is also true when viewed in terms of the Church’s own millennia of canonical laws directed toward (and thus admitting the existence of) pedophilia among their clergy.
		And even then, the scandals which had first surfaced in the late 1980s and early ’90s raised their heads again around the turn of the century, in a new wave of accusations of clergy sexual abuse, substantially identical to those which were thought to have been properly addressed by that revered leadership a decade earlier.
