It must be a joke. The Chupacabra is a mythical blood-sucking animal believed (in Mexico) to be responsible for cattle mutilations and other scary stuff.
What are you talking about?
I know the Roman Catholic Church exists because I see on the internet all the time.
Sometimes sites are so lazy they leave out the Catholic part or use Romish.
I think your first smiley is correct. I don’t know what is more confusing----your opening post or the connection between your reference to Matthew 10:34 and a picture of a worker at Medieval Times.

Probably because “The Roman Catholic Church” would be the totality of all those Roman Catholic churches together as a whole? What’s the point of this ‘clever’ question?
I have no idea. I am proudly Roman Catholic. “Roman” because Rome is the city where the Vatican is located, and “Catholic”, because it spans all of time and space - you cannot go anywhere that people can go without being in a Diocese of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church of which I am a member is based upon the See of Rome. Its first head was the first Bishop of Rome, as well as its current head (and 99% if not all of those in between). Of course our leaders have also entitled ‘Pope’, but other religious leaders are also called ‘Pope’ (for example Pope Shenouda III of the Copts, who definitely isn’t the supreme head of MY Church). And it is defined by loyalty to said Bishop of Rome.
I have no problems with being identified as Roman Catholic or identifying myself as Roman Catholic. :highprayer:
