Actually you have the numbers wrong.

Catholicism didn't start until about 400 years after Jesus appeared on the scene in the Mideast.

Actually, you're wrong:

The Didache (70-100 AD) or "The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles" is a manuscript which was used by 2nd century bishops and priests for the instruction of catechumens. Many early Christian writers have referenced it making this document relatively easy to date.

"Let no one eat and drink of your Eucharist but those baptized in the name of the Lord; to this, too the saying of the Lord is applicable: 'Do not give to dogs what is sacred'". -Ch. 9:5

"On the Lord's own day, assemble in common to break bread and offer thanks; but first confess your sins, so that your sacrifice may be pure. However, no one quarreling with his brother may join your meeting until they are reconciled; your sacrifice must not be defiled. For here we have the saying of the Lord: 'In every place and time offer me a pure sacrifice; for I am a mighty King, says the Lord; and my name spreads terror among the nations.'"

Where's your Eucharist?

Where is it mentioned in the Bible?

Your quotes do not show Catholicism existing earlier than I stated.

Thank goodness it didn't start way back when Catholics say it did, the Dark Ages came soon enough as it was.

Didache 7:7 and thou shalt order him that is baptized to fast a day or two before.

Just curious. Do you not feed the babies for a day before they are baptised also?
