It’s hardly official Church historians — check ANY unbiased historian and you will see the same — Christians from Apostolic Churchs have remained in contact since apostolic times. There have been gaps of a century or so, but no group would have not heard of Roma or Jerusalem or the bishop of Rome.

Then sad.
I realize that gossip has always been around . . . so has power mongering.
However . . . individuals and families were NOT really connected by the world wide web 2000 years ago.
