You misquoted me out of context, and compared the Church founded by Christ to a Maoist indoctrination center.

Your context wasn't misses. There are plenty of RC indoctrination centers. Jesus founded the catholic church, FRiend. You may belong to a sect, called the ROMAN catholic church. But, Jesus died for "all", not some, according to Scripture. Peter was a follower, but denied Christ. Peter died.

The "Great Commission" was given to "all". Paul, a Jew, was blinded, and brought to the Light. He preached Christ crucified. He preached to all the church. He also wrote letters to explain what that crucifixion meant. Only one went to Rome, and it wasn't addresses to Peter.

Romans 1: Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God— 2the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures 3regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, 4and who through the Spirit[a] of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God[b] by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. 5Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. 6And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

7To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Gibberish.

Again with the misquoting. You're comparing the Catholic Church to Maoist indoctrination centers.

Jesus founded the Catholic Church, FRiend.

Yep.

You may belong to a sect, called the ROMAN catholic church.

I do not.

But, Jesus died for "all", not some, according to Scripture.

Congratulations, you agree with the Catholic Church.

Peter was a follower, but denied Christ.

Yet Christ made him Pope anyway, as a testament to the incredible power of the Holy Spirit.

Peter died.

Correct.

The "Great Commission" was given to "all".

So you've been told.

Paul, a Jew, was blinded, and brought to the Light. He preached Christ crucified. He preached to all the church. He also wrote letters to explain what that crucifixion meant. Only one went to Rome, and it wasn't addresses to Peter.

Congratulations, you agree with the Catholic Church.
