Many doubt do not agree the Catholic Church is truly Apostolic, much so to it's claim that it is holy. What do you think of this?

It may well have started off with the teachings of Jesus and Paul etc but it has been around for 2000 years and like any organisation controlled by men corruption has crept in. It was this corruption that Martin Luther protested about so starting the protestants. It was mainly indulgences that he was concerned with. They have gone but the latest is peodophiles. Not the peodophiles themselves they have always been around but the church covering it up and protecting the priests. In any case what on earth does "holy" mean. I would suggest that the meaning is different to for everyone.

Well, I am not sure what the word "apostalic" means. But, as for being holy, Of Course it is! The Catholic Church was founded by the Son of God himself. The trouble is, He put humans in charge of it. It looks like Jesus made a mistake! But, no. God knows everything. Past, present and future. Inside and out. If God put humans in charge, knowing all of the terrible things that would happen, it must mean that God has more faith in human nature than we do. No matter how bad things look from our perspective, God's love for us will emerge victorious.
