“there was no “Roman Catholic Church” until Constantine”

There is no such thing as the ROMAN Catholic Church. It is he Catholic Church. It is headquartered in Rome. It is composed of the Latin Church and the Eastern Catholic Churches. The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ when Peter was made head of the Church. Makes no difference how many times heretic break away faiths deny the the truth, it’s still the truth.

>>The Catholic Church was founded by Jesus Christ when Peter was made head of the Church.<<

At no time and in no way was Peter made head of the Church. Christ is head of the assembly of believers the meaning of which the Catholic Church has corrupted with the word “church” and her false presentation of that notion.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Jesus didn’t leave some mortal man to be His “vicar” on earth, His “vicar” on earth is the Holy Spirit.

John 14: 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

And the Holy Spirit through Paul made in abundantly clear that the same Holy Spirit is given to all believers and there was no distinction between the apostles and other believers.

Acts 15:8 And God, who knows the heart, bore witness by granting them the holy Spirit just as he did us. 9 He made no distinction between us and them, for by faith he purified their hearts.

Acts 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

The Catholic Church is a corrupt organization and an imposter which ensnares it’s followers in lies and deception.

>>Makes no difference how many times heretic break away faiths deny the truth, it’s still the truth.<<

Indeed! And the truth is found in scripture and not some apostate organization called the Catholic Church.
