And remember Simon Magus didn't want to be a lowly disciple but a Master or Magister of this Christianity that he saw. When he was denied it by Peter, he started a counterfeit Christianity of which he became the Magister right there on his sacerdotal chair in Rome for 25 years from which the magisterial Papacy grew. The magisterium there in Rome does trace its roots to that person sitting on that magisterial sacerdotal chair in Rome for 25 years under Claudius and Nero, doesn't it?

Do you have ANY BASIS for such a wild claim? ANY whatsoever? Any evidence besides your wishful thinking? If not, all you are doing is being divisive among the Body of Christ.

Let's pretend for a minute that this preposterous idea is true. We are then presented with the documented fact that the Catholic Church comprised nearly all of Christianity for the next thousand years and European Christianity for the next fourteen centuries.

If as you contend the Catholic Church was built upon a farce such as this, would they not have removed all negative mention of Simon Magus? Your theory makes no sense in light of the fact that nothing was done to cover-up Simon Magus' movement. In fact your entire theory is based upon the letters M, A and G.

You should right novels, because this garbage is easily as absurd as "The Da Vinci Code."
