Who are your spiritual ancestors? That's all I'm asking.

My reference is to ALL those believers in and followers of Lord Jesus Christ alone since He founded His Church, those born of the Spirit of God and not by the will of man. These are my spiritual forerunners, which is what I meant by "ancestors". Those that, throughout time, are the Body of Christ under Heaven.

Not all of these "invisible" Christians lived long and prospered here on planet Earth. Many who survived had to hide themselves from tyrants, which is a possible reason you could not find them in your Catholic teachings and history books. But, we existed. And we do still, as yet.

Still looking for a name, a date, place... a trace.

If you don’t wish to or can’t answer the specific question, that’s fine. It should be clear what I’m asking.

Oh maan, now hidden Christians, living at the time of Christ and the Apostles and later and not following the Catholic church...the year 100, 300, 643,...they were hiding somewhere like unicorns...
