Well, the Roman Church split from the Church that wrote the Bible (Orthodox Christian has entered the chat), which is an important distinction for some parts of this discussion …
That’s the Roman perspective. The Orthodox perspective is of course different. The Roman pope was the first among equals, but only the first among equals. All the other Churches (Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch—also founded by St. Peter!, and Jerusalem) remained in communion with one another. It was only Rome that split off. And whatever else was going on, one thing is very important: Rome proposed a change to the Creed that would not necessarily represent a change to theology in Latin, but would in Greek. Whatever political intrigues might have figured in, there was no way the other Churches could accept a change to how they described Jesus Christ in the symbol of the Faith! I have discussed this in heavy detail with a Catholic scholar who was wrestling with this.
The Orthodox actually have the historical Church, and the miracle of the Holy Fire at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre each Holy Saturday illustrates that point each year. The Orthodox Church has not added the strange and innovative teachings that have appeared in the Latin confession.
Do you know what Jesus means in saying the father and I are one? If you have seen me you have seen the father?
Catholic Christianity is evil, it is founded on lies and distortions. They are not the only ones responsible but they started the perversion of Christianity.
Indeed. I find it interesting that some Catholics are so quick to dismiss anything contrary to their belief, yet their version is contrary to actual Christianity. The very description of anti Christ fits the Vatican and pope perfectly.
The one where I know the creator within each and everyone. The one where I know love is the way home not hatred, and not evil. I can only hope to be the amazing being Jesus Christ was, and I pray that the creator guides my path with the rays of divine light.
RC was started to move money and power into a non governmental structure with diplomatic rights and self governance globally of financial gains and protections.
The RC structure is a false God by christian standards.
"I and the Father are one" -Jesus Christ, John 10:30
You call Eden a prison and Catholics, the very people who compiled the Bible in the first place "pagans".
And yet you call other people delusional. Unreal.

Orthobros literally did the schism because they were not willing to do a Latin mass. They split from the authority in Rome founded by Peter.
Yes the eastern Church was where it was first created (Antioch) but to claim that the Orthodox are the original church is in denial of history.

Indeed. The Greek orthodoxy is closer to actual Christianity.
Are Catholics not pagan?

Whatever bro.
Not understanding the downvotes. Mary did NOT ascend...so at the very least Catholics preach "another Gospel'.

Watch it, your hatred is showing.
My faith teaches me to hate sin but love the sinner.
What faith do you follow?
The one where I know the creator within each and everyone. The one where I know love is the way home not hatred, and not evil. I can only hope to be the amazing being Jesus Christ was, and I pray that the creator guides my path with the rays of divine light.
