They are the original Christian. If you trace history, the Orthodox and the Catholics are the originals.

Jesus entrusted Peter to build his church and Peter built the Catholic Church, becoming the first Bishop of Rome (the pope).
Look at it this way: If Catholicism isn't christianity, then christianity is only 350 years old.

Of course, Catholics are the original Christians belonging to the Church started by Christ and His disciples.

Of course............
Non-Catholics need to plunge themselves into early Church history!
Read the writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch, Clement of Rome, Cyril of Jerusalem, Irenaeus, Polycarp, St. Augustine, etc... They are rich with Catholic doctrine -- and the earliest evidence we have for what the Church was like in its earliest days!
In the Nicene Creed, which is accepted by most Christians, the Christian Church is described as being "one, holy, catholic, and apostolic." These are known as the four marks of the Church.

Catholics were the ONLY "Christians" for 75% of the time since "Jesus" was allegedly here. The religion of non-Catholic "Christians" is based entirely on historical records collected by 'catholics', LOL!

We worship and follow Christ and trust Him as our one and only Savior. That makes us Christians. People who say we have a "false gospel" offer absolutely NO proof of this...because such proof does not exist.

Yes. Catholics are Christians that worship Jesus and other lesser deities known as saints and include Mary the fictional mother of Jesus. Catholics also maintain Christ on a cross symbolizing that he will be sacrificed over and again on a daily basis for something their scriptures tell them he did once and for all time.
Yay Catholics!

If not, then there is no such thing as Christianity since all the other Christian churches descended from the Catholic Church. Here's a star for your stupidity.
