Not sure you made a point other than saying you don’t agree with the Catholic Church and that it was there among the Fathers in the late 1st and 2nd century, sort of like a seed or small plant, but it was Catholic, and while it is lets say a larger Tree today, it in substance the same, only the accidents differ, and that that is an organic development of the Church From Christ to the Apostles to the Fathers of the Church in conjunction with all the Major councils of the Church till today.
So that is my point and it remains my point.
Let me try to be more clear. I objected to your argument that it was an unbroken chain of identical belief from Christ to today. It is not. If you want to believe otherwise, you are believing a Roman Sanitized version of history. Your call.
