I’m assuming this post is here to help begin a healthy dialogue about Catholicism versus Christianity?
LOL, I like the way you put that.
lol - sweet..
Interesting suggestion you make there that the church founded by Jesus Christ Himself is not Christian.

No, since Catholicism is Christianity there is no “versus” there.
The first 1500 years of Christianity were filled with millions of people discovering Jesus through the Catholic Church, Eastern, Orthodox and Roman. Catholic simply means universal.
Most of the eastern rites have united with the Roman Catholic Church, which makes such good sense. I BELIEVE that it would be what our good Lord would have us to.
Whether you travel the road of John Calvin, Martin Luther or any of those very pious souls who found Christ their own way in the 16th century, you travel to Jesus.
ALL roads worth traveling are with Jesus leading us, with Jesus at our side and with Jesus behind us in case we fall. THAT is the true path. Why cavil at our own Christian paths if they all lead to Jesus?
Not knowing what to believe in the realm of Christianity, I've got a supply of popcorn and will lurk this thread anticipating the cat fight that is sure to follow.........
