Completely and totally intact for the last 2000 years. Every
priest of the Ancient Church can trace themselves back to
Jesus by the laying on of hands. You seriously need to learn
Christian church history.
Todd, as a Roman Catholic I was brought up with the teaching that the Ancient Churches are very close to "us" and equal to in attending if we could not get to a Roman or Western service.
I respect your opinion and understand your definitions about poly-theists...
I ran across this from "Catholic Answers" and wonder how you view it in your prospective? Thanks!
