The Catholic Church is the only true Church

It certainly is very misfortunate when my opponent is unable to make a proper response due to time contraints. However, for the sake of a fair debate, I will now offer my closing statement and ask my opponent to do the same. We are out of rounds and if my opponent uses his last round for arguments, then I will not be able to answer them.http://www.youtube.com...Sacred Scripture is CatholicI maintain that the Catholic Church canonized the Scriptures present in the Bible, including the Deuterocanonical books.This has been shown to be well-documented as I described in my opening statement. My opponent affirmed that the Church was the first to recognize the Canon, but negated its authority to determine the Canon. However, this is arbitary to say the least. The dispute over the Canon was ended because the Church excersised its God-given authority, not vice-versa.The Church Fathers were CatholicMy argument from the Church Fathers' belief in transubstantiation was never refuted. Instead, the debate shifted to arguments for the biblical basis of the doctrine. This was basically a red herring and I can only blame myself for engaging the topic. Still, I showed that Sacred Scripture was also Catholic in its eucharistic theology. Reason is Catholic?The majority of my opponent's argumentation rest on the Protestant pillar of private judgment. I started the debate by contesting this principle, but any substantiative defence never came about. It is only in the final rounds that it had its 15 minutes of fame. My opponent asks for a chance to defend it in the final round and I ask that he refrains from doing so, since I cannot address his arguments later on. However, should he wish to defend the principle, then I will wait for him to challenge me to a new debate. ConclusionThe Catholic Church is magnificent. It has survived corrupt men, even popes. It has survived the persecutions of mighty empires and have spread across the Earth. It has stood up for the common man when Big Business and Big Government stepped all over him. It is the only church that can rightly claim the title of The Church. Vote Pro.I will leave you with a saying of Blessed John Henry Newman: History is not a creed or a catechism, it gives lessons rather than rules; still no one can mistake its general teaching in this matter, whether he accept it or stumble at it. Bold outlines and broad masses of colour rise out of the records of the past. They may be dim, they may be incomplete; but they are definite. And this one thing at least is certain; whatever history teaches, whatever it omits, whatever it exaggerates or extenuates, whatever it says and unsays, at least the Christianity of history is not Protestantism. If ever there were a safe truth, it is this. And Protestantism has ever felt it so. I do not mean that every writer on the Protestant side has felt it; for it was the fashion at first, at least as a rhetorical argument against Rome, to appeal to past ages, or to some of them; but Protestantism, as a whole, feels it, and has felt it. This is shown in the determination already referred to of dispensing with historical Christianity altogether, and of forming a Christianity from the Bible alone: men never would have put it aside, unless they had despaired of it.
