what was going on all that time before your church started coming on the scene?

Same thing it's been doing since Christ founded it in 33AD - dispensing God's graces through the Sacraments and teaching people how they can be saved by Christ.

You speak "tongue in cheek," right? "Dispensing God's graces through sacraments"???? When did He appoint anyone to dispense His grace for Him? Please give us some proof of this in the scriptures.

Also, would someone give us a catholic definition of "grace"? I've noticed that catholics use that word differently than scripture uses it. Thanks, Hopefulpilgrim
