You miss my point. People accept historical traditions without comment - unless the Catholic Church, the institution that preserved the concept of history for the West, and preserved its historical records as well, attests to them.

Its testimony is immediately suspect, because it still exists and maintains its teaching 1900 years after the original skeptics said it was supposed to go away.
