Ah, all those satanists mascarading as Catholic popes for the last 2,000 years, leading all those people astray. I suppose that that everyone that lived and called themselves Christian until Martin Luther came along all burned in hell because they were following satan and his evil religion. You need to get away from the fantasy Dan Brown novels.

Not really. Catholicism didn’t really start until the 300s so it hasn’t been 2000 years yet. Although Simon Magus was pretty influential in Rome already during apostolic times.

Oh no. Many who were referred to as Christians were faithful followers of Christ. The Roman Catholic Church tried it’s best to eliminate them but failed for the most part.

>>You need to get away from the fantasy Dan Brown novels.<<

I don’t know any Dan Brown and don’t read novels. Well, other then when doing research into Catholic belief. Some of that is pure fantasy novel type stuff.

Quite a few were not serving God, but themselves.

There were many Christians since the first century that were members of the church that Jesus started.

Not all Christians were Catholic.

In fact none were until about the 3rd century when Catholicism started and history was re-written to declare the Apostles Catholics!
