21 popes can be traced back to Peter...

Yes, 1 of the NT gospels said Jesus told Peter that Peter would build his church.

Peter founded the catholic church..

... and the Eastern Orthodox also venerate Peter as the 1st patriarch.

all who followed Peter wrote the bible..

Seems to me the Eastern Orthodox have an equally valid claim.

1. Epistle of James - James, the brother of Jesus
2. First Epistle of Peter - Apostle Peter
3. Second Epistle of Peter - widely considered not to have been written by him
4. First Epistle of John - John the Apostle
5. Second Epistle of John - John the Apostle
6. Third Epistle of John - John the Apostle
7. Epistle of Jude - Jude, the brother of Jesus and James
8. Revelation - John the Apostle or John or Patmos

the bible was held sacred by catholic until around the 15th century..

Typical RCC dismissal of the Eastern Orthodox, Jan Hus (burned at the stake by the RCC for heresy), Ulrich Zwingli, and Martin Luther.

when the king of england wanted to screw everyone and everything with a vagina that came his way...

True statement in and of itself, but too simplistic an explanation. The Protestant Reformation had already washed ashore in merry olde England and was emerging as the English Reformation. While once a vital denomination, the Church of England is now apostate and is in the process of being pruned from the vine of Christianity.

pretty simple really, if you are willing to just follow the timeline...

Not as simple as you would like it to be.

Oh?

I've missed that.

Could you give me the reference, please?
