Victimae Paschali Laudes is the most beautiful Christian hymn of all time. It was written by an Eastern Orthodox. Therefore the Eastern Orthodox Church must be the True Church.

That means that they were Orthodox. |

^ I've always wondered about the word "organ." When I think organ, I usually think a collection of tissues together. Of course, my cousin's son would then ask, "Like puffs?" That's why the OO's are the true Church. We make a big deal about different uses of terminology |

The Catholic Church is the true Church because according to Gardar Sverrisson, world chess champion Bobby Fischer (toward the end of his life) said that “the only hope for the world is through Catholicism.” Some have questioned as to how to reconcile the religion of Catholicism with some of the writings of Bobby Fischer, but anyhow, he asked for and was given a Catholic burial. http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/chess_champion_bobby_fisher_requested_catholic_burial_in_iceland/ |

What? He was strongly anti-semitic and had alot of white supremacy inclinations, but I've never even heard he was a Catholic near the end of his life. In Christianity, we oftentimes have the chance to repent of our sins and failings before it is too late. According to the biography of Fischer by Frank Brady, Engame," http://www.amazon.com/Endgame-Fischers-Remarkable-Americas-Brightest/dp/0307463907/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1298847430&sr=1-1 " "I am not now that which I have been," Byron wrote in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and that could have been Bobby's answer to his spiritual change near the end of his life." Near the end of his life in Iceland, "Delving through books, he discovered the writings of Catholic theologians, and he became intrigued with the religion." He bought his friends a copy of a basic Catholic catechism so that they could enter into discussions on the teachings of Catholicism. See pages 315 and 316. Also see: http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/chess_champion_bobby_fisher_requested_catholic_burial_in_iceland/ |
