In the history I studied and taught, Catholics were the original Christians until the Reformation of the 1500s. They continue as several denominations of the Christian faith to this day.
Then tell me why do they have a Catholic Church and a Christian Church separate? We only share the common ground of faith in Jesus. Catholics have masses, The ritual kissing of the Pope's foot, some worship of the crucifix, they don't eat meats on Fridays, at the Christians church we don't do none of that. So please explain...
