Well it's kinda sad if you don't know who started your own church.

But in comparing St. Peter to "Mystery guy"... When the Catholics first earth leader was Jesus' best friend- kinda impressive.

Answer 1

Jesus started the catholic church but passed his authority onto st peter the first pope, try www.scripturecatholic.com

http://www.scripturecatholic.com/history.html

this shows when and by who a variety of churches was established, baptists included. as for the person who started the baptist faith having more knowledge than st peter..... he didn't that is why he wasn't catholic.

john smyth in Amsterdam started the first form of baptists, from then on there are different leaders and forms of baptists as they have no real source of authority other than man. Christ established his one true holy catholic and apostolic church with the succession of st peter. churches thereafter have some truth in Christ but not whole truth as found in the roman catholic church, especially the Eucharist.

Answer 3

For the first 280 years of Christian history, Christianity was banned by the Roman Empire, and Christians were terribly persecuted. This changed after the “conversion” of the Roman Emperor Constantine. Constantine provided religious toleration with the Edict of Milan in AD 313, effectively lifting the ban on Christianity. Later, in AD 325, Constantine called the Council of Nicea in an attempt to unify Christianity. Constantine envisioned Christianity as a religion that could unite the Roman Empire (state religion), which at that time was beginning to fragment and divide. While this may have seemed to be a positive development for the Christian church, the results were anything but positive. Just as Constantine refused to fully embrace the Christian faith, but continued many of his pagan beliefs and practices, so the Christian church that Constantine promoted was a mixture of true Christianity and Roman paganism. Constantine found that, with the Roman Empire being so vast, expansive, and diverse, not everyone would agree to forsake his or her religious beliefs to embrace Christianity. So, Constantine allowed, and even promoted, the “Christianization” of pagan beliefs. Completely pagan and utterly unbiblical beliefs were given new “Christian” identities.

Answer 4

Baptism is rooted in John the Baptist and Jesus being washed by him. That trumps your St. Peter. Besides, you confuse the founding of a sect which requires political maneuvering and founding of religious belief by going back to sources.
