The One Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church (Catholic, Orthodox, Orientals, Assyrians) has been Christ’s Bride, His One true Church for 2000 years, while the rest has withered away. Whatever strange beliefs you and the others (the non-Trinitarians, the Unitarians, the Jehovah’s Witnesses) that are part of r posse, those strange beliefs will die out - as have others.

There was no Catholic church 2000 year ago.

Believers/followers of Jesus were known as Christians.

It was centuries later that it started.

Ex post facto doesn't apply here, re-writing history in that way doesn't speak well for Catholic credibility.

The bride of Christ, His one true church stated back then with born again followers of Jesus and the teachings of those that God used the Holy Spirit to speak His Truth.

You can say it all you want but it doesn't make it the truth. In fact, your statement here is provably false because the Eastern Orthodox Church is NOT in unity with the Roman Catholic Church on some MAJOR dogmas the Roman rite insists MUST be believed in order to gain salvation. It's okay for them to reject your dogma but "Protestants", who hold to the doctrines believe from the start, are rejected, mocked and ridiculed? Seems to me the "strange beliefs" are all on you guys' side, at least according to what Scripture says.
