Cathoics have been following Christ for 1,600 years before there was a protestant....we have ALWAYS led people to Christ, it was the "reformation" that decided to lead people away from the truth.....PERIOD.
Once again a RC seems to imagine that because they say something then it must be true, however it has been shown and can be that the Roman Catholic church could not have been following Christ for 1,600 years before the Reformation, as the RCC did not exist then, except as invisible, and has engaged in progressive deformation since it has .
“Protestant” is just a slur cast at Christians, just as “Christian” was a slur aimed at followers of Jesus. If you wish to see the pivotal document, the actual protest which brought upon us Christians this new slur, it is here: http://www.thereformation.info/protest%20text.htm
As for Rome, she is a schism that happened gradually, but for the first few hundred years, we were happy enough with our first slur, simply being Christian.

And how long has it been since MARY has been part of the path to Jesus?

Detestable rituals which include fondling and kissing desicated corpses does NOT lead people to Christ.
Your fellow posters have admitted that even if the Church was founded by Peter it has strayed far from the practices of the Apostles. Even Elvis would look at the vestments and bling and say “Dang, that’s gaudy!”
