“Christians have been around since Jesus first started his ministry. No Catholics were though. Catholicism didn’t start until hundreds of years later, backed up by history”
The word Catholic means universal. All Christians were Catholic from the days of Christ till the reformation. They all celebrated the Mass, they all believed in the sacraments of the Catholic Church. They all believed in the real presence at the Eucharist. Discussing the true Church with you is akin to taking to a wall. Your last name must be Swaggart.
The foundational principle of Protestantism — the Bible alone and only the Bible — is not Biblical!
Protestantism claims to base its entire belief system in the Bible alone, but the principle of “The Bible alone” is a non-Biblical principle; it is a principle that is nowhere found in the Bible.
Saint Paul instructs us in II Thessalonians 2:14 to stand fast and “hold the traditions which you have learned, whether by word, or by our epistle.”
Yes, I explained that to you in post #104, here it is again EXACTLY the way I taught it to you in that post:
The catholic (universal) church was started by Jesus Christ.
It's that simple.
When it is capitalized by a proponent of Catholicism, although also a follower of Joseph Smith, it has a different meaning.
It has no need to be typed with a big "c" until 325AD when the Catholic church started.
Any other use of in that manner is simply rewriting history.
That is best left to the liberals.
All Christians were Catholic from the days of Christ till the reformation. They all celebrated the Mass
Oh they did not. The term mass didn't even become in common usage until the 4th century.
They commemorated the Last Supper by partaking of the Lords Supper, with the Body and Blood of Jesus as He commanded
It's properly called communion.

Swaggart, I believe he is a Catholic. One who fell away from your church. You trying to insult me?
You so far have refused to discuss the true church, you apparently sluff it off as an annoyance.
You discuss a different belief system than the one that Jesus Christ instigated around 2000 years ago.
You seem to know a lot about Protestantism, probably as accurate as your other proclamations.
Not my interest, I am not a Protestant.
If I am, then you are a Mormon.
Though if I had a choice of believing the Bible alone vs putting Catholic tradition as EQUAL WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AS CATHOLICS DO TO THE GREIVING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND HIS GOD BREATHED SCRIPTURES, I would choose the Bible instead of that Holy Spirit grieving belief.
That is straight out of Mormon teachings, the Fathers=the Prophets in the skewing of true Christianity.
Your pontifications are sounding more and more like Joseph Smith as you go on and on and on.
