The Roman Catholic Church has really only existed, as it is currently known today, since 538 AD, when the RCC took control of Rome and much of the Roman empire. The church in Rome corrupted Christianity by the accepting of man's apostate/pagan traditions over Biblical based principles described in the Bible, which was defined before the RCC's claim to the sole authority on "christianity".

That's according to one belief system.

An alternate view is that the Roman Catholic Church saved more souls by adapting their pagan traditions to Christian beliefs, thereby making the transition from pagan to Christian less traumatic for the masses.

I'm sure there are any number of other explanations, and I'm sure each and every proponent of each and every faith firmly believes he or she is absolutely correct and everyone outside that faith is dead wrong and on his way to Hell (or wherever nonbelievers go).

Could we just go back to talking about ETs now?

That's according to one belief system.

That's according to history.

Of course this is a possible explanation, but whomever takes such a stance ceases to be Christian, as definied by the Bible. So, why should Christians let those who no longer follow the Bible, and no longer Christian, dictate to Christians what is and is not Christian. It's laughable. It's be like me defining what books and teaching are and are not Holy to a Hindu (and being serious about it).

Sure
