Catholic church asserts itself as the only 'True' church

Pope Benedict XVI has reasserted the universal primacy of the Roman Catholic Church, approving a document released Tuesday that says Orthodox churches were defective and that other Christian denominations were not true churches.

"Christ 'established here on earth' only one church," the document said. The other communities "cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense" because they do not have apostolic succession – the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles.

If God actually existed, would he really want Christians bickering over which churches are real and which are false?

I guess there are more important things to the Church than AIDS in Africa, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the crisis in Darfur, and world poverty, among others.
