Odd, I see “catholic”, which means “universal”, but no “Roman Catholic”, which means something completely different.

Not to pick a fight, but “catholic” and “Roman Catholic” are not the same thing. The church at Rome did not exist in AD 33. Paul didn’t get to Rome until over 20 years later, Peter didn’t get to Rome until after Paul was beheaded (IIRC). I understand your position, but it’s probably better not to use that particular date.

Jesus Christ founded the Catholic Church? NOPE.
The word “Catholic” is never mentioned.

He and the Apostles DID however bring us the Gospel, which Catholicism chooses to cherry pick at some points and completely ignore at other points...

For example, Christ says “this is the blood of the new covenant, poored out for you” and the Catholic Church CREATES the doctrine of trans-substantiation.

The Catholic church doesn’t believe in PERMANENT forgiveness of sins through Christ ALONE. It’s ironic that they celebrate the Body and Blood of Christ but don’t actually accept the meaning of it!

And finally, when Jesus told Peter that he held the keys to the Kingdom he was not referring to literal keys. Rather he was explaining that God would reveal himself to the hearts of men (just as he did with Peter) when asked “who do you say I am?

Mormon 1830 Joseph Smith New York

That's what the Catholic Church tells you. When you are told a lie often enough it begins to sound like the truth. And so people who are raised in the RCC believe the lie.

Peter was not the leader of the Catholic church. Paul wrote in Galatians chapter 2 verse 7 that the gospel to the uncircumcised (Gentiles, anyone not Jews) was committed to Paul. The gospel to the circumcised (Jewish) was committed to Peter. Since most of us including the Catholic church are Gentiles the leader was Paul not Peter. I believe Paul taught this in other passages but this one is in my memory. ---Peter's statement of Jesus is the Christ is the Rock that Jesus church is built on, not Peter himself.

We have no further mention of Peter in the Acts of the Apostles. He seems to have gone down to Antioch after the council at Jerusalem, and there to have been guilty of dissembling, for which he was severely reprimanded by Paul (Gal. 2:11-16), who “rebuked him to his face.” After this he appears to have carried the gospel to the east, and to have laboured for a while at Babylon, on the Euphrates (1 Pet. 5:13). There is no satisfactory evidence that he (Peter) was ever at Rome. Where or when he died is not certainly known. Probably he died between A.D. 64 and 67.

The followers of Yeshua were all Jews who kept the Torah. It was the Catholic Church formed by Constantine who took away the Jewishness.

All that pagan stuff...the sign of the cross, veneration of saints, the Mass. It was the pagan Emperor Constantine who brought that stuff into the church at the instigation of corrupt Gentiles.

The Catholic Church began with the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD! Before that date the Church was pure!
