The Catholic Church was started on Pentecost as described in Acts. The Apostles and writers of the Bible including Paul and Luke were Catholics and inspired by the Holy Spirit.The Bible was complied from Sacred Tradition passed down by Jesus and the Apostles and written by Catholic authors and the Holy Spirit. The books of the Bible were discussed and accepted after much discussion by the Bishops at the Councils of Hippo 393 and Carthage 397.

The Catholic Church is the Body of Christ composed of Baptized members on earth (Church Militant), those in Purgatory (Church Suffering) and those in Heaven (Church Triumphant.

You forgot to mention that it’s the culture of catholicism to believe what you posted. Outside of catholicism there are many believers in Christ who would not believe your post.

And I guess at least SOME of these good Catholics were responsible for teaching the doctrine to the seven churches in Asia (that Catholics seem to ignore.)

And later; the Catholic leadership sent a letter outlining the things REQUIRED of Catholics to believe and do.

IIRC, it was chapter 15.

No, the One True Church (Ekklesia) was started on Pentecost when Peter preached and the HOLY SPIRIT descended INTO those who did as GOG desires, they believed Jesus IS their redeemer.Your religion, Catholicism, was started later, as an empowerment scheme for an elite priesthood.

You are deceiving on purpose by conflating your religion with The One True Church.If this is truly what you believe -that the one true church is Catholicism- than you need to immediately call upon Christ alone to save your damned spirit of deadness. But it is likely that your pride will not allow that saving faith, so do't take the Mark of the Beast when it is commanded to you.
