Now this is how I understand it. I could be wrong, I think I was wrong once, but then again I could be mistaken about that….” title=”Very Happy” />

Well as Protestant Churches and sects are all founded by human beings, and not by God, as the Catholic Church was, (Look in the Bible, Jesus founds his Church on Peter, in other verses the Church we are told is founded on the Apostles, which does not contradict the supposition that it is founded on Peter, but simply supports the postion of the other Apostles as being sent by Jesus) So those organizations are not really in or out of communion, but the souls of the individuals are imperfectly connected to the Church.

As these Churches in a sense represent the members of their groups the Catholic Church deals with these groups, in the interest of the individual and corporate souls, and in an effort to bring them all to the fullness of the truth.
