The roman catholic church was not started before the scriptures were written. It manifested itself several hundred years later.

Give me the exact date and tell me what happened to the New Testament church that preceded it.

Give me the exact date and tell me what happened to the New Testament church that preceded it.

There was no mary worship

no hail Mary's; no statues to Mary; no prayers to Mary

No indulgences

No penance

No pope

No cardinals

No diocese

No priesthood as constituted in the RCC today

No leanings on the writing of the ECFs which contradict each other on many topics the RCC claims they support.

In essence...when did the rcc begin.....

When it departed from the teachings of the New Testament.
