No because "roman" Catholic came only after the east west schism in the Catholic Church. Before that there was only the Catholic Church. If you read the early church fathers, who taught before the schism, they were Catholic. What roman Catholics believe today stems from that same history and tradition.

And that reply of yours explains that you can't address the issue. Before the schism there was one church. It was Catholic. If you don't like it I'm sorry but Im not inclined to appease you
There were Christian communities before the Schism. So you could say there were non-denominal "churches" before the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches came to be - BOTH claiming to be the continuation from the apostles.
So who cares about that? We should tend to the churches we have now. A lot of them have become Ichabod.

I agree entirely but those titles came as a result of the schism. Reading the early church fathers shows a decidedly Catholic flavor. They weren't teaching sola fide or sola scriptura
You keep saying that. I don't see what the big deal is about that and how that affects Christians now. I don't think the Catholic church now is any good - it might have been when it first came about - but not now, not anymore. A lot of people think that whoever is the pope at the time that the antichrist appears will be the false prophet. That could mean the current pope if it happens within a few years.
You just repeated the same logical error. The early church was catholic (universal) not Catholic (Roman).
My feelings about the Roman Catholic entity are tertiary to this particular discussion.
If you can’t discuss these matters respectfully, I will be happy to report you for Catholic proselytizing and wave goodbye. Your choice.
And once again "roman" is irrelevant as it oa distinction between the west and the East after 1054.
No they are at the center. In centuries leading up to 1054 and then the 1500s the Catholic Church did not teach sola fide or sola scriptura. It believed in the real presence in the Eucharist.
If you can't discuss these matters without facing facts then you do what you have to do but getting me banned doesn't change the facts. But your threat tells me what I need to know about you
Blindly irrelevant, especially since Catholics claim lineage to Peter as the bishop of Rome.
Wrong.
Yawn. Promotion of Roman Catholicism is not permitted here. Deal with it.
It's the only church that can.
I'm wrong because you say so. Lol
I'm not promoting anything. But you do what you need to do. Like I said this tell me what I need to know about you.
And after the Great Schism there is still one true catholic/worldwide church/body of Christ still consisting of all true believers
or Christian saints/saved sinners--not to be identified with any corrupt/imperfect physical human institution, whether RC, EO or SBC..

I will ask you a question, First let me admit I am not catholic and never ever ever will be,
there have been hundreds of popes, Christ told the 12 Apostles they will each be a King ruling over a tribe of Israel.
In the KJV, not the catholic written bible, what is the reward for the hundreds of popes and where are they even mentioned once?
In the Word of God what the catholic call "eucharist" is Passover,, and Jesus Christ IS OUR PASSOVER, not our easter or our eucharist.
Your choice.
I have no idea what that second blurb means.
First, when did the KJV first appear? Second every pope is subject to gods judgment just like you and me so you seems to have some perverted idea of the poles role
No it's not passover. It's a sacrament of grace, the source and summit of the Catholic church
No, the Greek in Matt. 16:16 requires the rock on which the church would be built to be faith, not Peter.
All religions will lead you to God, but only a relationship with the risen Christ will keep you there
