Throughout iits existence the Catholic Church has had four marks by which it is known. It is one, holy, Catholic, and Apostolic We have always been one in doctrine.. We all believed the entire revelation on divine authority. Who ever wished to choose his doctrine based his choice on his own private judgement and not on faith in God. So he left us, and our unity was preserved. Since trhe death of Pope Pius XII, however, those who choose their own beliefs remain, and are allowed to remain, and are allowed to remain, in what is mis-called the Catholic Church, and unity is shattered. In most religious discussions each participant is convinced that all others are heretics. All, to often, he is correct. Often enough he too, is a heretic Catholic has always signified universal. Episcopal Conferences and vemacular rites have spit universality into lingual, national, and racial separatism.
