And the apostles, the first priests and Bishops started it. They were ordained, (breathed on) by Christ before he ascended into heaven.
All Christian churches receive their teaching from the Catholic Church and the Catholic Bible. Trouble is that Luther threw out some of the Bible that proves this.
NONE of the churches, the Roman Catholics, Orthodox, Syriacs, or Copts have the same Bible. Your statement is bunk.
Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.[1]
Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his wife.
Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who "sold" the Papacy
Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante's Divine Comedy
That has easily been proven wrong...You should do a little actual research to keep from looking foolish...
As were all alive at the time and future born again Christians.
And also by (Catholicism's first "Pope") Peter.
Ordained a Holy and Royal priesthood.
Is that in your Bible?
I don't understand why Catholics don't take God and Peter (who is revered by them as their first Pope) at their word and realize that they themselves are Holy and Royal priests.
All Christian churches receive their teaching from the Catholic Church
That is a total falsehood.
Christian churches receive their teachings from the Word of God, the Bible.
And the one who is the Word made flesh, Jesus Christ.
Through the ministering of the Holy Spirit.
Being deeply embedded in Catholicism seems to cause a person to believe everything spiritual comes from them. It's just not the case.
Jesus' church is the body of believers, not a particular denomination.
Even our founding fathers realized that when drafting the Constitution when they prevented a single denomination from representing our great country.
