And repeating a claim (”The Catholic Church was founded by Christ, circa AD 33”) does not prove it.

Repeating a claim does not prove it.

But history does.

Then show the history. But to do that, you would have to show that Christ installed Peter as head of the Church - which all other denominations deny.

Based on scripture and history, I deny it as well. Acts 15:

“12 The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done among the Gentiles through them. 13 When they finished, James spoke up...19 “It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to God.”

Interesting. Peter was there, yet it was James who made the decision, based on testimony from Paul & Peter both.

It would seem history denies Peter was Numero Uno in the Church.
