The Roman Catholic Church is the original one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church that has existed from the timeof Christ. We know that the Church did exist before the Protestants "rose up in the 1500's" because who else were the Romans persecuting? King Henry VIII...there was definitely a Catholic Church then because he was going against it. Elizabeth I (his daughter) had over 4 million Catholics killed in the first few years of her reign. All the other Protestants who "rose up" (Martin Luther, John Calvin, etc.) had to be fighting something. So there must have been a Catholic Church. Protestants' religion was started at the time of the Reformation, no earlier. They weren't always there, hiding. Hope that sort of clarifies things for you.

The chirch started at Pentecost. Ant right through the ages there was always people who, stayed true to the faith. Catholics persecuted many Christians during the early times and also throught the dark ages, killing many because they did not follow the catholic way. The catholic church was very strong and had a big influence and True christians were always here and will be till Jesus returns

I suppose in a way that is true. There were likely always people in Catholic countries who didn't agree with some of the things Catholics were doing. After all, if Luther had not had support he would have been killed.

It got hijacked.
And it was not until the middle ages, in the days of WYECLIFF, that he realised that the Catholic church was deliberately keeping the Bible out of the hands of ordinary people so they could maintain their POWER AND CONTROL over those people. WYECLIFF realised that the Catholic church was teaching TRADITION and NOT Bible truth.
He was executed fro his trouble.

I am not really sure what your question is:
Jesus told us to :
Pray
Fast
Tithe
Obey God
Worship only God
Obey God's laws ( 10 comandments etc)
read the Bible and you will be told what to do

After Jesus? A lot of new evidence shows that Jesus never existed. He sure wasn't the "Son of God"

What happen to Jesus after Christianity is more like it.
Let's first asked the greeks or romans(romulus and remus) with their man made given name of Jesus(Jupiter and Zeus) who had the likings of their own god made up godSERAPIS(Osirius and Isis worship) to trick the Coptic Egyptians to learning of the "Mysteries".
They flipped the script change the names to protect the plagerization of innocent.?
The letter J or V did not exist in aramaic nor hebrew, His father in heaven instructed Mary, his(Jesus?) mother Mary to named him Emmanuel. what's with the disobedience.
Then the phonetics of Jeshuah or Yeshuah...
Joseph Ben Pantera ... the lamb, the savior, lord Only God would know.
we sure do not cause we can't decide who or what the name is or IF he was!
The title of "Christ" was given to many that were initiated into " Mystery Schools" Jesus traveled to Alexandria Egypt known for the teaching to work miracles(magic)>KJV indicates "God works in mysterious ways" Mystery originally defined as INITIATE, which Christians would consider as "Paganism"(of the Earth or Terra)Witchcraft(which craft) Jesus was supposedly apart of the "Inner Circle". of 7. which is symbolism and of numerology considered as pagan. His(Christ) symbol is 7 within a circle(coincidental) probably not . seeRevelation1:20.
Native Africans and Indians accepting Catholocism for this religion closest to their own acknowledging it(for fear of death). the mother earth given the women have prophetic energy of Mother Wit and giving birth. Of course now its considered as Voodoo Santeria or Wiccan
... (eat of my body drink my blood)? vampirism and cannabalism sounding...creepysounding in secular life but great in church as long as its the body Jesus)which is to have everlasting life which is why cannabals eat parts of elderrs. Cathars(pedophiles) Priory of Sion(Zion)?>Essenes>Mandaens> All ackknowledge Goddess worship then, now but without the goddess. Most Catholic churchs or temples were built over goddess temples with breast of the women and phallous as graven images. The Virgin Mary (really Magdalene)is a substitute for the worship of the goddess. Peter(relics buried under St. Peters(Vatican) felt that woman weren't deserving of breath of life" and very jealous questioned Jesus(?) the relationship of He and Mary Mag(magic)dalen for he often kissed her, she considered the prostiute(or sacred woman) and the man Jesus) and Orgy(or Sacred sex) practice in temples for a (immaculate conception)
and the things that went on under the church gives credence to the pedophiles that are now being persecuted today for what was then and now still of the norm. Pope John prayed to the Black Madonna(Sarah) supposedly the daughter of Mary and Jesus but said a BLACK maid servant.
There are Catholic church records that are available in text of same sex marriages that took place amongst the priest and documented in the church. Revelation indicates to Seek ye first the kingdom of God the rest will be revealed. We have(will) perish for the lack of knowledge. The 10 commandments taken like the Codes of Hammurabi (our now penal codes)written a thousand or so years before Moses went to Mount SINia( moon god name SIN) to worship this god called SIN you were considered a SINNER. creepy? not really. Seek and you shall find. Constitine(the pagan) did not okay Christianity until he was basically near death for he did not practice. But he okay'd it , so we now beLIEve. Geepers creepers. Sort of Catholic and truth seekers make your journey with eyes wide open not Shut. Jesus and Satan were called bearers of light. the morning stars...paraphrased.
