Such an absurd statement!
The apostles had been dead for 250 years or more before the catholic church came into being to persecute the true followers of Yeshua’s Way.

Such and absurd statement!
Peter was the first Pope, and the Catholic Church has had successor popes ever since.
By the way who are the true followers of Yeshua's Way? What religion or creed do they profess? No one seems to want to name this sect.
