Roman Catholicism: The One True Church?
Yes, Absolutely!
I see no evidence that God makes this claim of the RCC.
The RCC claims that Linus I, took over has head of the Church after Peter was killed. However John, an actual Apostle was still alive and on the earth at the time. John had all the authority, Linus had none.
Jesus affirmed this by visiting John and speaking to him face to face at Patmos while at the same time the RCC claims Linus was leading their church.
Jesus has never spoken directly to any Pope ever.
Therefore, I have to conclude that in the 1rst and 2nd centuries, those men created a new and different church than Christ's church in God's eyes.
The history of the RCC affirms this.

Are you reading Protestant history only?
There was NO OTHER CHURCH until Luther did his thing. Everything was Catholic!
Christ founded his Church on the apostles and they carried on his mission.
Have you ever read the story of Pentecost where 3000 were added that day to The Way (what they called the Church then.)

**in God’s eyes. **
Are you now God and can see his will?

Jesus has never spoken directly to any Pope ever. Jesus has never spoken directly to any Living Prophet; ever.
