Within "a few years"?
Not even withing a few centuries, and not even now, more actually.
The Latin Church is not, and never was supra-set "the" Church, one and alone.
History is not on the side of your specious claims, terycarl.
Sorry, you lose again.
And I'm sorry that you cannot see it, no matter how many times it has been shown to you that ----your assumptions and suppositions are, as you remarked towards another here (and do put your own limited opinions) rather asinine.
Probably sooner, but at least by the year 100the Catholic church was recognized as such...there is no one else around....as the followers of Christ grew and matured, and multiplied, they became known as Roman (where they were)Catholics(what they were)...what's so hard to figure out....they were the ONLY Christians there....and realistically speaking, it doesn't matter what they were called, they were who they were..
