Each contradicting each other? Document that. Get busy. Prove it. Or drop that line of debate. I'm not kidding.

Christ built a church you say? Define that. Is it only found in Rome (under Romanist authority)?

There were no Romanists in the beginning. The story lines pretending that was factual are a pack of lies, hence the need for "development" or the theory of "unpacking".

As far as singular papacy goes...that took many centuries to "unpack". In 1054 the final press to enact that "development" left the rest of the church not knowing quite how to respond...

Which would leave any honest man, if supporting that idea (of singular "papacy") by default needing also to maintain a position which goes far beyond merely suggesting that ALL of "the church" got it wrong on that score, until the Latin church all on their lonesome discovered that not only should there be a singular personage over all, and a singular portion of the church over and above all others --- but that they themselves should be it!

Talk about Yopios and point fingers at everyone else all you wish, but go back and correct the various Romanist "Yopios" and then we can talk. Until then --- unless there be some personal testimony which may be shared, then I won't hear it, for it is not "the true church" which is talking, but something else instead...

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt. This has been documented voluminously and the following is as far as I'm willing to go with it. Beyond these broad outlines there are thousands of sects with wide ranging disagreements on salvific theology and moral theology, with some sects going so far as to even approve sins which scripture says cries out to God for vengeance including abortion and homosexuality:
