"the fact that we have survived after 2,000 years"

Wrong! The Roman Catholic church has been around for about 1600 years. It was founded when Constantine vanquished Christianity in Rome, and subsumed it into Romes particular version of the Goddes and god worship that had prevailed on Earth since the time of Nimrod (Ninus, Osiris, Zoroastre)

Peter was our first Pope. He died in Rome, and there have historically been an unbroken lineage of Pope's since.

And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the powers of death shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (Mt 16:18-19)

Lutherans, who are very similar to catholics, and the first to leave the church, didn't come about until the 1700's. When was your church founded?

Perhaps so (whatever that is).

But the Catholic Church was founded by Christ Himself circa AD 33.

You're worse than Dan Brown. Don't just assert, give proof.
