The corruption of Catholicism goes WAY back into it's almost 2,000 year old history.

there's this.

“The corruption of Catholicism goes WAY back into it’s almost 2,000 year old history.”

Adam and Eve became corrupt even though they talked with God and lived in Eden. Why would you expect all men in the Church to be different even though Christ founded it?

Rome even saw to it that it was SHOWN in the book it assembled!

Those seven churches in Asia (that were so messed up in John's Revelation) were NOT Prot ones!!!
