Sure it had...Upon this Rock I will build My church..the birth of Catholiciam...admittedly named a little later but we're dealing with a 2,015 year old institution....what's a few months or years matter.....by the end of the first century (a blink of the eye)...they were Catholic (universal) and gone through 3 or 4 Popes already...
ROFL! Actually lots of them. A single declared pope didn't happen until hundreds of years later. Only duped and uneducated Catholics believe that single pope from Peter on lie.
I'm glad you agree with and reinforce what the quoted Church Fathers wrote just above.
