Yes definitely.
Do you know who was the First Pope of the Catholic Church?
Go read the Bible, Jesus said to Peter "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Only the Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ himself. He gave authority of His church to first pope Peter. “Whatever be bound in heaven” means the 7 sacraments that Jesus himself gave graces to all Catholics on earth by the authority of Catholic church and the priests.
No other religions.
Catholic Church is the only one true church.
God may give you answer if you pray more and ask him yourself. God bless.

Off topic and I believe incorrect as well. The criteria for whether a marriage is valid or not remains the same as it always has; that the person at the time of the taking of vows must be able to give full consent and have full understanding. However with a greater understanding of psychology there is a realization that a person may ‘believe’ he or she is able to consent, but is not truly able to do so; the person who believes he or she is mature and understands the nature of the sacrament but who is for example in denial of their addictions, who is trying to please the partner but does not intend to live up the vows, etc. That is not the same as a ‘change in criteria’ now is it?

Of course it is a change and an essential one. This is seen also from the statistics of US annulments.
1929: 9 marriage annulments
1991: 63,933 marriage annulments.
The topic is whether or not Catholicism is the one and only true religion. I thought that the teachings never change in the true religion.

From a Jewish perspective the answer would be no, obviously, but that it’s mainly harmless to the believer.

No, you are quite incorrect in your claim the teachings changed.
And for the record, “of course it is a change’ in response to “the teachings did not change”, with nothing but your claim and a ‘statistic’ that you use as a ‘proof’ is a false ‘argument’.

All major religions are ‘true’ religions, but no religion has ALL the truth. All religions get some things right and other things wrong. Here is a comparison between some major religions: http://hinduism-christianity-islam.info/

The way you know that Catholicism is the one true religion is by recognizing that two sides of an argument that conflict cannot both be correct.
For example, in Islam, the testimony of a woman is worth half that of a man’s. In Catholicism, a woman’s testimony is worth the same as a man’s. Only one can be correct.
A Protestant may believe that Jesus’s presence in their bread is only symbolic. A Catholic believes the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist is real. Only one view can be correct.
This comes as a harsh reality to many people who wonder, “Why can’t we just join hands and get along?” “Aren’t all belief systems equal?” No. Other religions bear degrees of goodness as measured by how they match up to Catholicism.

No, but they want you to believe it anyway.
There are other truths out there. I would do a lot of looking and question everything!
Good luck!

I find it . . . .perplexing, that that argument actually makes sense to you.
You know that Catholicism is correct because other doctrines disagree with it.
That is essentially your entire argument.
