[John Leland 1789]

“Strawman alert — that’s not the statement you made, you said “There were people and groups in N-W EUrope that did not know of the See of Rome”. I pointed out that that statement was false, wrong, incorrect, historically silly.”

You can not say with any knowledge that there were not Christians in NW Europe without any knowledge of the “SEE” of Rome, because you don’t know that there were not.

There were churches in Rome, not one central diocese all through the first century, and many believers who traveled north had never been to Rome, and didn’t have any connection with any church(es) there.
