Why would we expect them to believe of the Heavenly things?
Again, like the Samaritan soldiers in Elisha's day, and the Jews of Paul's day, the I believe the RCs have been blinded by God. They *cannot* see the church even though it is all around them. This blindness will keep them from seeing the church, or accepting what I am saying, just as the Jews of Paul's day (the ones he declared blinded) "knew" they were doing God's work in persecuting Christians.
I wrote this 3 months ago, and for the past 3 months the RCs have not ceased in their clamoring to be shown our church. While they point with pride to their activities and buildings, they ignore - or were never shown - what happened to the house of God, the central point of a monolithic, unified religious authority (rather like the RCC dreams of):
Luke 21:5-6 [ISV] Now while some people were talking about the Temple—how it was decorated with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God—He [Jesus] said, “As for these things that you see, the time will come when not one stone will be left on another that won’t be knocked down.”
