And yet neither of you has documented your contention that Catholicism was started sometime after 33 Ad and as late as the 4th century, using legitimate secular sources.
Can you document that Catholicism existed before 200 AD; using CATHOLIC sources?
This whole thread has been an amazing series of different ways for Protestants who claim to be Christian to pretend their saying, "Jesus Christ is God, but . . .", is a Christian point of view.
That people who choose when Christ is or isn't God based on their personal animosity toward the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Christ Himself founded revise history without a single fact to back up their assertion isn't really much of a surprise, is it ?
I will show you from legitimate sources, they may not fall within your ridiculous rules. Here are a few more historical facts:
The Roman Emperor Constantine established himself as the head of the church around 313 A.D., which made this new "Christianity" the official religion of the Roman Empire. The first actual Pope in Rome was probably Leo I (440-461 A.D.), although some claim that Gregory I was the first (590-604 A.D.). This ungodly system eventually ushered in the darkest period of history known to man, properly known as the "Dark Ages" (500-1500 A.D.). Through popes, bishops, and priests, Satan ruled Europe, and Biblical Christianity became illegal.Throughout all of this, however, there remained individual groups of true Christians, such as the Waldensens and the Anabaptists who would not conform to the Roman system.

The word of God documents it.
The catechism is a rejection of all that the apostles taught, replacing the way of Yeshua with the commandments of men, just like the Pharisees.
Talmud and catechism have similar roots. Neither came from God.
