Catholic Church the spiritual successor of the Roman Empire

We took what was good and worthy and rest we burned. We made Rome our bitch and it will stay this way as eternal city of Christ on Earth.

Church is one body but many members my friend. And we are not those filthy protestants that deny immorality of the soul and eternal life in Heaven so that there is no communion of saints in all three states of Church.

Unlike all the other "successors" it was the only one to have Rome in it.

So I say yes

>Catholic Church: the political continuation (adapted) of the Roman Empire.

Fix it. Why? because:

> Really bruh, latin is the idiom of angels! without matter that Jesus and any of their apostols they never wrote anything in that idiom.
>Peter was the Rock, therefore, if he died here in Rome [citation needed], the most logical thing is that here in Rome should be now the new capital of God's church, instead be a holy place like Jerusalem, Belem (where borned Jesus) or Galilea (where borned Peter), or any other place without political power.

The key word here is ADAPTATION, not adoption! Just take a look about what says Exodus 20:4, that and that thing about choose 25th december as the birthday of Jesus.

Can the worm that eats away at the corpse be called its spiritual sucessor?

>>3114587
Rome was christian

Rome never died, it transcended

Keep bowing to your God-King loyal Roman subjects

>>3114147
No...
Byzantines were the successors, and the Kievan Rus technically followed up due to some marriages.

Facist Italy was the spiritual successor.

Daily reminder that Christ and all the apostles spoke only Latin.

>papal scum
>successor of Rome.

Rome died in 1453 and there was and never will be a successor.

SPQR is alive and well in The Republic of Finland

No because an abstract Catholic god or an any Catholic saint can't even replace image of minor god or daemon of North wing Boreas.

>>3114621
Idolatry implying latria, thus name. Latria is in Catholicism for God only.
Sorcery implying evil spirit working miracles. All we do is from God, in God, for God.
Necromancy implying contacts with dead. We don't have such contacts (well, outside ecumenical meetenings with protestants).
