>> It is why protestants hate the history of the Church, they have no place in it.<<

I don’t hate nor do I envy the history of any church. I have however studied how “churches” have drifted away from what the Apostles taught. It’s not a Protestant or Catholic phenomena. It’s all organized religions. One only needs read Revelation 1-3 to understand how God looks at “churches”. He takes out those individuals who have not followed the “church” but have remained faithful to Him even if the “church” has fallen away. Whether Muslims, Mormons, Catholics, or Protestants it matters not. If the apostles didn’t teach it then what they teach can not be relied on. Jesus warned us about the “doctrines of man” and would have made sure the Holy Spirit would have “reminded” the apostles to write what is important for us to know. He knew that human word of mouth would not be reliable. Christ is the head of the church and no other.

It is a doctrine of man that the Church is some invisible collection of believers each on their own island of belief populated by themselves and what they think is the Holy Spirit.

Of course, that makes you your own little congregation, all one of you. When you falsely opine that the Catholic Church teaches idolatry, that Sunday attendance at church is a man made tradition, that Easter and Christmas celebrations are pagan, you do remove your opinions from those any reasonably well read student would consider informed. You have bragged about not knowing Greek or Hebrew or Aramaic, about refusing to read what the Catholic Church actually teaches and yet you claim to have "studied" the faith in such a way to be certain of your rightness. Good for you. But don't expect any literate student of Christianity to take you seriously. You might as well join nutballs like Aimmee Semple whatever her name was or the comet dude.
