Because I'm not, I'm Orthodox. But I can recognize false statements and ignorance of Catholic teachings when I see them.

Why on earth do you assume that "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ" is referring to the Apostolic Church, of which Paul was a founder? That's just crazy. If anyone is following the vain traditions of men, it is those that break away from the Apostolic Church.

How can you call a church apostolic, when it has no apostles? misnomer...

Because our bishops are direct successors to the Apostles.
Apostolic Church
Word Origin
noun
the Christian church as founded by the apostles.
Apostolic succession, in Christianity, the teaching that bishops represent a direct, uninterrupted line of continuity from the Apostles of Jesus Christ. According to this teaching, bishops possess certain special powers handed down to them from the Apostles; these consist primarily of the right to confirm church members, to ordain priests, to consecrate other bishops, and to rule over the clergy and church members in their diocese (an area made up of several congregations).

I just find it kind of silly.
"Welcome to the Fraternity of Horsemen."
"Where do you ride? I don't see any place for it?"
"Well we don't actually ride, not anymore, not for generations!"
"Well, what do you do then?"
"Why - we polish our saddles, of course!"
Mmmmkay.

You keep using that word. I do not think you know what it means.

No, but really. A straw-man fallacy calls for me to misrepresent your argument. In this case, I made the original argument, then made an example of it. I'm pretty sure I didn't misrepresent my own argument, so, as you would say...
My post stands as written! Try again! Post 3642, subsection (a)!

A Straw Man involves misrepresenting your opponent's position, which your assertion certainly does:
"Cruciform is like my mother-in-law, a Cathaholic. It's their drug and they're addicted."
It also engages in an Ad Hominem Fallacy. Yet, you claim that it is "true." Again: Post your proof.

Well, if you choose not to be in the Church that has continued the teachings of the apostles down to this day, that's your decision.
But why would anyone not want to?
