Who said anything about Roman? The adjective “catholic” (meaning “according to the whole”, corresponding better to the Russian notion of sobornosty than to the meaning of universal it took on in the West) was applied to the Church by St. Ignatius of Antioch, the third bishop of Antioch “where the disciples were first called Christians”, who according to Holy Tradition was the child who was placed in the lap of Our Lord when He said, “Suffer the little children come unto Me,” third in succession from the Apostle Peter, in his Epistle to the Smyrnaeans, writting c. 110.
And, no, the “Roman Catholic” church didn’t start in 325, it started in the 11th and 12th centuries when the Popes of Rome finally accepted the heretical filoque and led their patriarchate into schism from the One, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (now usually called “the Orthodox Church” because of the Latins’ loud propagandistic claims of the name “Catholic” for their own communion). When they tell the story, falsely claiming that the Patriarchates that retained the original Creed and remained in communion with each other were the schismatics, they date it to 1054. As an Antiochian Orthodox Christian, I’d date it to the First Crusade when the Latins forcibly installed a Latin Patriarch of Antioch in the already occupied see, despite only Constantinople having formally broken communion with Rome a that point. Were I Greek or Russian Orthodox (in the 11th century, Russia was still under Constantinople, I suppose I’d date it to 1009 or 1014 when Rome was removed from the Diptychs of Constantinople..
David, why are you so fascinated with pagan myths, rather than the plain word of God?
No ‘Bishop’ is of any importance. Neither is any human corporation that is ruled by the inventions of men, which every one of the ‘churches’ in existence today are.
The last congregation that had any measurable contact with the true Way of Yeshua was that which was guided by Hippolytus. From then on, it was a steady down hill roll.
