True, but it seems in the third century or so the self named Catholics started rewriting history and plugged in some historical figures as "popes" so there would appear to be a succession.

For all the complaints from Catholics (CatholicISM) about Protestants (ProtestantISM) in fact the Catholics were the first Protestants.

Protesting against basic Christianity in 1054 so they could use men's proclamations to create a denomination with a circle drawn around it to keep Bible Christians out.

In fact they created their own religion outside of Biblical Christianity and call it The One True Church.

Jesus saw/sees it differently.
