The Eastern Orthodox beg to differ, and have for going on a thousand years.
Exactly! That is the main reason the Orthodox split from Roman Catholicism - because many of Rome's dogmas were novel and had not been taught by the Apostles. Roman Catholicism tries to add "amendments" to the Bible - they call them "Sacred Tradition". Whereas Scripture says it is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16-17). I doubt God forgot to mention anything important. ;o)

The Eastern Orthodox Catholic Church and the Roman Catholic were one in the same for nearly 800 years, so add 800 to your 1000 and you will be pretty close.

You mean the Eastern Orthodox CATHOLIC Church? I said Catholic. I didn’t say Roman Catholic, which is not the official designation of the Catholic Church.
