Trying to scrub Catholic history

As opposed to 'no history'? Cute and convenient, yes; convincing, no.

Do you honestly think I am trying to convince someone whose sole goal in life is defending the indefensible?

"Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY GOSPEL, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was KEPT SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, "BUT NOW" is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the OBEDIENCE OF FAITH." Rom. 16:25,26.

There Paul goes again. Calling it "MY GOSPEL". Being established according to his gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ. Formerly a MYSTERY since the world began, until revealed to Paul.

"Time Past", "But Now", "Ages to Come"...Eph. Chapter 2.

There is a LOT of history for you to learn. The history of the Church the Body of Christ. According to the Bible, not the RCC.
