Christ founded the Catholic Church. Sola scriptura and sola fide, however, were made up by a rebellious, egotistical German monk.

“Christ founded the Catholic Church.”

No scriptural basis for “Catholic Church”. However there is plenty for catholic church as in “pertaining to the whole Christian body or church.”

First one founded by man, second one founded by Christ.

Hmmm.

Do you know what convinced me to leave the RCC?

- Reading what the apostle Peter had to say about the Word, Christ, and being born again.

The monk you are referring to is Martin Luther. I thank God for courageous and godly Christian men like him. If it weren’t for people like Martin Luther, I would not have copies of the Bible in English. I would not be able to read and study the Bible for myself. i would have to depend on the clergy to interpret it for me. I would not like that.
