Sorry but it is no lie. In fact they are named in the very Bible itself

Rev 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

Rev 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate

Now some information simply taken with good supporting sources within the wiki:

Nicolaism (also Nicholaism, Nicolationism, or Nicolaitanism) is a Christian heresy, first mentioned (twice) in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, whose adherents were called Nicolaitans, Nicolaitanes, or Nicolaites. According to Revelation 2, vv. 6 and 15,[1] they were known in the cities of Ephesus and Pergamon. In this chapter, the church at Ephesus is commended for “hating the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate” and the church in Pergamon is blamed for “having them who hold their [the Nicolaitans’] doctrines”. There is no other first-hand evidence to give us certainty about the nature of this sect.

Hippolytus of Rome states that the deacon Nicolas was the author of the heresy and the sect.[2] Several of the early church fathers, including Irenaeus, Epiphanius, and Theodoret mentioned this group. Irenaeus discusses them but adds nothing to the Apocalypse except that “they lead lives of unrestrained indulgence.”[3] Victorinus of Pettau states that they ate things offered to idols.[4] Bede states that Nicolas allowed other men to marry his wife[5] and Thomas Aquinas believed that Nicholas supported either polygamy or the holding of wives in common.[6] Eusebius said that the sect was short-lived.[7]

Not many more details on them specifically but we know their theology was heretical.

So if they are held as heretical by the Catholic Church (and we protestants as well) that would mean if the Catholics are “Nico laitanes” they hold themselves as heretics.

Doesn't really make sense does it...

Yes, it is in the Bible, and no, it is not what you cling to. The fact that you became a Wikipedophile should be enough to stop you in your tracks.

Nico Laitanes, rule over the people. The church in Pergamos was known to hold the doctrine of witholding the scriptures from the people, and presenting false interpretations, and following the false traditions of men (just as the Pharisees did), just as the catholic church has done for the 1600 years of its existance. That is the doctrine that Christ denounced.

There is no evidence to support the fiction that you, the catholics, and the wikipedophiles cling to. It was fiction from its beginning. It rapes the word of God.
