Constantine? Don’t even need a laugh track here.

We got our orders from Jesus Himself. We wrote down a whole bunch of writings over a period of many years, amassed them, and decided which writings were to be known as Sacred Scripture.

A disgruntled ex priest decided that he could start his own church, axed a number of writings of what had been accepted for 1200 years, and spawned the myriad man-made churches that we see today.

When people join the Church, they do so for the theology. When people leave the Church, they do so for the ease.

Or worse to pursue theology which is contrary to what Christ gave us; heresy.

No....I'm sorry, you are misinformed. Your organization received nothing from Our Lord. The Apostles wrote down the early writings of the Church....and the Holy Spirit preserved them.

By the time Constantine made you folks the Imperial church of the empire no one would have recognized you as something from which Christianity evolved. There was no similarity. The true Church from the Apostles onward observed the Feasts and Sabbaths of Our Lord....something you folks despise as "Jewish".

A disgruntled ex priest decided that he could start his own church, axed a number of writings of what had been accepted for 1200 years, and spawned the myriad man-made churches that we see today.

I totally agree here....Martin Luther was also an Apostate....as your Magesterium is.....and his teachings have led many people into great error also.

There is little about your organization that would indicate Biblical beginnings.
