Catholicism started around 300 years after Jesus. Christianity started with the disciples of Jesus. Catholics will say Catholicism started with the disciples of Jesus. That is a lie. There is a ton of church history people should look at. You have to look at these two words and understand what they mean. The first word is Christianity. The second word is Catholicism. But these two words are not the same words. But Catholics will say they are the same word. But they are not the same word.
Dear my spirtual brother @joeyarnoldvn , I agree with your assertion that Catholicism emerged 300 years after Jesus. I oppose the claim that Catholicism is Christianity itself. However, it is true that the Catholic Church created the Lord's Prayer and the Apostles' Creed as the core ideas of Christianity.
It is also true that the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches carried out the first Christian missions to Europe and the New World.
In the history of Christianity, it is also true that Protestantism was separated from Roman Catholicism.
In Christian theology, Protestantism and Catholicism are mostly identical. Although Protestantism denies the worship of Mary and the doctrine of purgatory, Protestantism and Catholicism are the same in soteriology and eschatology.
I admit that Catholicism was born out of early Christianity, created by Jesus and the 12 apostles in the history of Christianity, and that Protestantism was separated from Catholicism.
Do you remember how the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Churches fought a 1300-year war against Islam and defended the Christian civilization in Europe?
