The early church.

Which was Catholic.

"Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church." Ignatius of Antioch, Epistle to the Smyrnaeans, 107 AD

.
For the first two centuries, no measurable number of Yeshua’s followers observed any of the practices of what you call “catholic.”

Oh, good ole Iggy...It's difficult to know if Ingatius really existed, since the writings attributed to him were forged by other people a couple a hunderd years later...

But even if Iggy actually did write that, we know there was no capital 'C' on catholic, don't we...That forgery as well was added later by your religion...
