Catholicism, like Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Taoism, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Moonies, Various "Christian" Denominations, etc. will remain in effect until Y'shua HaMaschiah returns to remind people that it is NOT religion that brings people closer to God but a personal spiritual relationship with The Creator.
Well hath Esaias prophesied - these people worship me with their lips ( canned prayers -rituals and traditions) BUT their hearts are far from Me.

They are included in the "etc." category.

Last I understood, the catholic church was slipping in membership here in the U.S. due mostly to perverted priests. I know that in New England, catholic churches are being put up for sale regularly. My home town used to have over 20 catholic churches and is down to about 12 now. Now, I DID see something that showed the Mormon faith growing exponentially. That would be the church of Latter Day Saints for those who did not realize.

Maybe if the Catholics sprinkle some Hebrew words and some Greek words into their prayers...

The Churches are being sold to raise money to pay the lawsuits by people claiming to have been abused by Priests. Many settlements are being paid out to avoid the cost of a trial.Woodyspda said:
The Catholic Church will never fail, God promised to be with her until the end of time. The Holy Spirit guides and protects The Church. The Holy Spirit elects the Pope by guiding the Cardinal Electors.
Now, as to whether Pope Benedict XVI is more conservative than Pope John Paul II is a matter of opinion. Neither one was/is conservative.

Hmmm.... With all due respect, the term "Catholic" means Universal and in terms of New Testament theology is not specific to the Vatican RCC but encompasses all who are "born again" of the Spirit of God. It is one's personal Faith in Christ not one's membership to any "church" that was establlished by man. (According to the New Testament)
Are you Catholic?GusChiggins said:

The Catholic Church is the only Church that has the four marks of the True Church: One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. Therefore, as Dominus Jesu stated, other faith communities are defective. The Protestant faith communities are many, they are not one. They are not Apostolic since they rejected Apostolic Succession. The Schizmatic Churches of the Eastern Rite still have the Truth also.
Jesus made St. Peter the first Pope. One has to submit to the Pope to gain salvation. It has been argued whether anyone can gain Heaven now that the Holy Roman Empire is no more and people are under secular regimes.
It is necessary to establish the Social Kingship of Christ on Earth with His Mother as Queen.
