(every historian will tell you that Rome was an early center for Christianity and evangelization back then),

And every Catholic will tell me that the RCC was formed in the 1^st century; too, but they've not produced any PROOF of it.

We can't produce PROOF where Jesus was crucified either, just a few written accounts from decades later saying it happened. That doesn't mean he wasn't crucified. Trying to PROVE any event from 2000 years ago is difficult.

When would you say the Roman Catholic Church was founded? It certainly predates the creation of any protestant church.
