The Catholic Church started with the Bishop of Rome, aka Pope becoming leader.

That he wasn't as strong a leader as he is now is irrelevent.

Nor does he being a successor to Peter matter.

All that matters is, he was the leader of the Church at the time.  Which the made up word Proto was made up, specifically to admit, but not admit that the Eastern Orthodox Church is a breakaway.

'Don't confuse me with the facts, I've got my mind made up already'.  WOW, you used to be better at this debating stuff. Not anymore I guess.

Ok... I'll stop confusing you with the facts.

Weird stance but ok... at least your being honest with yourself.

It's simple the pope was the top authority then, and as the catholic church evolved this did not change. 

For The Eastern Othrodox Church... the Pope was the head, the leader and the most important religious leader, but isn't anymore.

Which is the original?  Pretty obvious answer there.

 

Keep in mind that the Eastern Othrodx Church in fact argues that the church existed, it just was there church and not the Catholics then the catholics branced off them..  Not that no such church existed.

The only person who finds facts confusing is yourself (I assumed you got that, but I guess it was probably too tough for you to figure out). Actually, you simply ignore them. I already mentioned I have no real interest in this issue, so I won't be replying to these posts anymore. Maybe there's some Eastern Orthodox religious figure on this site you can continue this conversation with.


Oh I got it... I just found it funny how it really just applied to you.  Afterall, the facts are incontravertable, no matter how you may try to escape it with unrelated statements.

Yes, the facts are incontrovertible, and they're also not on your side.
