Christ started one church and that church is the Catholic Church. Now you can disagree with that till the cows come home, but its absolute fact. The Catholic Church compiled the Bible and determined what was sacred scripture and what was not.
HMMMmmm
I'm left wondering...
Who started them churches that John was commanded to write to in Revelation??
The Greek Orthodox claim that they are the one true church and the Romans split off from them.
If by Catholic you mean the ekklesia...the body of believers in Christ....yes.
If you mean the mess that is the Roman Catholic church....no.
The Catholic Church compiled the Bible and determined what was sacred scripture and what was not.
Uh....no. The Roman Catholic church did not formally declare their canon until Trent....April 8, 1546.
