Not exclusively for that reason, but I certainly see it as supporting evidence due to the fact it's a somewhat unique trait for an institution when contrasted with all the deepstate institutions and organizations.
And to be clear, by "hide" I'm referring to the fact they have existed in present form for their entire, well, existence. Obviously, they "hide" certain things, as evidenced by the article this thread is about. But they don't hide themselves the way the deepstate does. They don't rename themselves every couple hundred years. They don't hide behind dozens of names to confuse anyone looking into them. They don't pretend to be some new group starting from the bottom. They simply remain the Roman Catholic Church, and always have.
To pose my own question(s). Does America's deepstate make America evil? If it does, is the solution to destroy our country and start a new one? Or to make every state its own country? Or is the solution to retake what is ours; to regain control of our country from the evil to put it back in the hands of the righteous patriots?
I think we should do the latter, and I think we should do it with the Church too.
The establishment of Islam does not hide neither. It does not change its name nor identity. You can't bring up different sects or followers of doctrine either because the Christian church is just as fragmented. But this fact that it doesn't hide its surface identity proves nothing of its merrit, nor does it absolve it of any of its sins.
It proves nothing alone, yes. That's why it's only supporting evidence, as I said.
Also, Islam is very clearly fake and gay, and clearly not of God. 2000 years of Catholics, the vast majority being good and upright people, is not the same. We can easily tell Islam is false, but with the RCC, there is a claim that they are the one true Church, and there is certainly evidence in favor of this, of which the Church still existing is but one piece for me.
So the fruits of the Church are generally good, while the fruits of Islam are generally bad. So I don't think they are really comparable as it relates to my point.
And the RCC is not fragmented. Just because people have fallen away from the Church and changed up doctrine, doesn't make it so.
Further, people splitting from the Church neither disproves it nor proves it, any more than a Protestant becoming a Catholic empirically proves anything.
And none are absolved of their sins but through the Grace of God. That's hardly an argument against the claims of the Church.
