I'm so sick of this lie being thrown in my face.

The first "church" were the apostles. The word translated as "church" is one of two words. Either "Synogogua" (can't have people thinking that the Hebrews had ANYTHING to do with Yahushua, afterall) and "Ecclisia" the former being pretty obvious and the latter word meaning "assembly". Hence, ANY group of people gathered in His name.

Not this organization for profit that is the RCC.

There were no popes hanging out in Jerusalem in 30 A.D. There were no men in black suits with funny collars demanding people disobey Yahushua and call them "father".

Sorry to break it to you, but the RCC wasn't founded until LONG after the apostles died.

The first actual Pope in Rome was probably Leo I (440-461 A.D.), although some claim that Gregory I was the first (590-604 A.D.).

EDIT TO ADD: I want to make it abundantly clear that I honestly feel that most Catholics are honorable, noble and wonderful people filled with love.

But the worship of the RCC has to stop. Worshiping an institution is blasphemy.
